Tie Guan Yin Classic 2024 (铁观音) is a low/mid oxidized oolong with a beautiful amber-colored brew. This varietal, known as the “Iron Goddess”, is an heirloom to many hybrids created in the world and pays tribute to the tea tree cultivar it originates from in the Anxi region. Our TGY, handcrafted in the town of Jian Dou, is created using traditional wooden presses and undergoes a slightly higher level of oxidation compared to the more popular super green oolong trend. After searching for many years, we have finally discovered a farmer who upholds the traditional methods of producing TGY oolong without the use of pesticides or machinery and with medium roasting over charcoal embers. Our spring picked grade will go through many transformations over the year and will peak after two years of aging. At its freshest, pineapple is at the center of its flavor and will slowly step back as captivating lilac floral tones step forward. The delicate charcoal roasting will continue to dissipate until it becomes just a shadow that binds the many elusive layers of taste and aroma together.
