Tie Guan Yin (Medium Roast Oolong)
Peach | Iron | Caramel
Harvested from the lush hills of Muzha, Taiwan, this medium-roasted Tie Guan Yin – the “Iron Goddess of Mercy” – is crafted from the traditional cultivar using time-honoured roasting techniques. Hand-picked and tightly rolled, it reflects the rich heritage and precision of Taiwanese tea craftsmanship.
This tea brews into a radiant golden liquor with a smooth, silky body. Expect layered notes of juicy peach, sweet caramel, and a subtle mineral richness, often described as an “iron” base. The moderate roast deepens the flavour while preserving its floral and fruity elegance.
Structured, aromatic, and warming, this Tie Guan Yin strikes a perfect balance between bold depth and refined grace. A classic choice for oolong lovers, it offers a fragrant finish that’s both satisfying and soothing.
