Our Traditional Tie Guan Yin is processed with an emphasis on traditional style processing.

This tea is a great example of high quality material and top level processing meeting to make a nuanced, high quality tea.The type one has a prominent roast. The soup has a savory, fatty feeling and a honey sweetness in the fragrance. This tea is meaty and strong, with a strong body feel.Each purchase is for 8 grams.
