Detail

Tieguanyin can be roasted, aged, or unroasted and very fresh and green. There are two main types of tieguanyin tea – traditional or chuan tong tieguan yin and modern or qing xiang tieguanyin. Modern styles of tieguanyin tea has a bright emerald to bright yellow color, with floral and creamy notes. This style is the most popular style today. Traditional tie guan yin is more oxidized and more baked. It is smooth, with roasted and fruity notes, and heavier, more complex aroma. Tieguanyin can have many flavor notes – roasted, nutty, creamy, fruity, toasty, honey, floral, fresh, vegetal and mineral. Generally, less baked and oxidised tea will have a fresher and more vegetal flavor.

Simplified Gong-fu style brewing:

Place about 5-7 grams of tea leaves into a preheated tea pot. Use 120-150 ml of water, bring water to a boil and let it cool down to 203°F. Start with one very short infusion to wash the leaves. The first infusion for drinking should be about 20-30 seconds long. Increase brewing time with each infusion. Same tea leaves will give anywhere between 5-10 infusions.
