Traditional Tieguanyin

Unlike contemporary clear fragrance Qing Xiang Oolongs from Anxi, which feature little oxidation and at most a light finishing roast, this traditional Chuantong Tieguanyin combines medium oxidation with a medium roast to create a more complex flavor profile. The delicately floral top notes of roses and orchids, paired with its green asparagus body, are beautifully balanced by the mild and sweet acidity of foamed skim milk. Notably, using more leaves enhances the tea's mouthfeel, while fewer leaves surprisingly elevate its already impressive aftertaste.
