Simply dubbed “Number 1 Tieguanyin” by its maker, this outstanding batch combines carefully grown zhen cong (original cultivar) leaves with masterful charcoal baking. There is more of everything in this tea: aroma, flavor, color, and infusions. It is a more powerful drinking experience than the sublime “one drop of dew” tieguanyin teas from the same maker. Teas of this caliber in general, and tieguanyin specifically, come along only once in a while when all the environmental conditions and human talents required to make tea sync up.
