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 (also known as Peruvian groundcherry), 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.
