What it is:
A smooth, lightly oxidized Tie Guan Yin (Iron Goddess) Oolong known for its creamy body, floral aroma, and elegant modern green–style finish. This premium oolong delivers a fresh, mellow cup with a long-lasting sweet aftertaste that sets it apart from both green teas and traditional roasted oolongs.
Why you'll love it:
Tie Guan Yin is prized for its naturally floral fragrance—often compared to orchids—and its silky, creamy texture. This version is lightly oxidized, giving it a clean, bright flavor with gentle grassy notes and a lingering sweetness.
It re-steeps beautifully, offering multiple cups from the same leaves, each steep unveiling new layers of aroma and flavor. Whether enjoyed hot or iced, it’s a refined, versatile tea that oolong lovers can’t get enough of.
Ingredients:
Tie Guan Yin oolong tea
Tea Cocktail Recommendations:
Brew strong and shake over ice with honey and lemon for a refreshing oolong lemonade. For a creamy treat, blend with steamed milk and a little vanilla to make a floral oolong tea latte.
Directions:
Iced (16 oz cup): 3 tsp tea steeped for 2–3 minutes in 8–10 oz hot water (185–195°F). Strain, pour over ice, and enjoy a crisp, floral oolong.
Hot: 1 tsp per 8 oz water, steeped for 1–2 minutes at 185–195°F. Re-steep 2–4 times, increasing the time slightly with each infusion to enjoy its evolving orchid-like aroma and sweet finish.
