Flavour
Tie Guan Yin commences with a refined orchid aroma, progresses to crisp bamboo leaf freshness in the mid-notes, and resolves into a profound, creamy depth. The liquor is a soft green, with leaf bases edged in red, harmonizing like the flowing, elegant scarves in Dunhuang murals. In the mouth, it delivers a light, velvety texture; the subtle oxidation imparts fullness and enduring scents without sacrificing green tea's inherent clarity. From flavor to fragrance, Tie Guan Yin embodies Chinese tea makers' harmonious rapport with nature—a prime example of gongfu tea worthy of meticulous savoring.
