Description
Anxi tie guan yin is a renowned oolong from Fujian. Its mildly oxidised leaves are carefully rolled into pearls, revealing a splendid floral bouquet.
His name is closely linked to Anxi province, which is known for its floral oolong teas contrasting with traditional roasted oolong teas from the region.
Coming from the same tea plants used to make original tie guan yin, its slightly oxidised leaves are shaped into small pearls. Infused using gong fu cha method, they reveal each time new subtle flavours.
