Qing Xiang Tieguanyin

The modern style of Tieguanyin (Qing Xiang) is characterized by low oxidation, which typically results in a more vegetal taste. Fittingly, our Tieguanyin smells of spinach, combined with notes of physalis, giving it an overall cooling sensation on the nose. The tea presents itself with a dominant taste of spinach, balanced by a subtle sweetness of sugarcane, while maintaining a consistent taste throughout multiple infusions. The texture is more on the robust and bold side, making it an ideal choice for those who enjoy a more direct and intense tea.
However, for a more layered profile, consider exploring the Qing Xiang Tieguanyin Superior, which offers a smoother, butterier and overall more complex experience in the cup.
