Tie Guan Yin Oolong Tea

Tie Guan Yin is a traditional oolong tea, also known as Ti Kuan Yin or Tieguanyin, made from the tea plant Camellia sinensis. It is best known for its balanced flavor profile, combining floral notes with a fruity character and a smooth, lightly oxidized oolong finish. This loose leaf tea is commonly appreciated for its layered aroma, which can range from fresh and orchid-like to mellow and sweet depending on how it is brewed.

Loose leaf Tie Guan Yin is commonly used as a drinking tea and is valued for multiple infusions, with flavor that can develop gradually across successive brews. It is prepared with hot water and a short steep time to bring out its aromatic, floral-fruity character without excess bitterness. The whole leaves are suitable for gongfu-style brewing or for a more relaxed everyday cup.

How to Use

• Steep in hot water for a fragrant everyday cup of oolong tea.
• Use in gongfu brewing to enjoy several infusions from the same leaves.
• Adjust steeping time to highlight either the floral aroma or the fuller, smoother taste.
