I thought something was different with this tieguanyin when I first tried it. It had ....more. More mouthfeel, more sourness, more sweetness, more character, more fragrance, and all enveloped in the kind of solid roast that I like.

This is a friendlier alternative to the Dragon’s Eye Muzha tieguanyin, if you’re new to trying darker oolongs or are trying to introduce someone to them, this is a good choice. It gives all the roasty toasty comfort of a hot chocolate but isn’t aggressive on the roast flavors. It’s a great tea to brew grandpa style.

As someone always trying to find the perfect earthy oolong variety, this Tie Guan Yin has me over the moon! Always a top choice when hosting, and a regular companion on my desk at work. If you like earthy, twiggy, complex flavors, give this one a try!

An amazing Tieguanyin style tea! Tasting notes of star fruit and plum, with some vegetal character and a lingering caramel aftertaste. The leaves smell amazing on the gaiwan, like a fruit dessert.

Roasted caramel nuts, nice and sweet, refreshing

This tea is sweet and refreshing but also flavorful. The primary note that stands out to me is roasted caramel nuts with some fruitiness. Smooth and luxurious and pleasing. I agree with previous reviews that this is fantastic value considering how high-quality it is. It would be hard to find such good quality anywhere else, nevermind at such a price point!
