Tieguanyin - Oolong

Tieguanyin – the Iron Goddess of Mercy – is one of China's most famous Oolong teas.

The light-roasted version is the most traditional, and it surprises with a nice floral aroma with notes of orchid and daffodils. The dried leaves are rolled into emerald balls that open in the teacup and reveal a sweet fragrance and a beautiful green and shiny color. The roasted notes appear in the aftertaste like a gentle breeze that leaves a complex taste and creates a sense of anticipation for the next brews and the new sensory journey that will accompany them.
