Tieguanyin Tieguanyin detailed introduction 🍵🌿

What kind of tea is Tieguanyin? 🌟

Tieguanyin is a unique variety of Chinese oolong tea, a semi-fermented tea that lies between green and black teas. It is renowned for its beautiful leaves, lingering aroma, and rich flavor. Tieguanyin, meaning "Iron Man Guanyin," symbolizes the beauty of resilience and compassion. The tea leaves have a natural orchid aroma and a mellow, slightly sweet flavor with a strong aftertaste. This tea, a specialty of Anxi County in Fujian Province, China, holds a significant place in global tea culture. Its meticulous production process and consistent quality make it a favorite among Hong Kong tea lovers. 🍃✨

Origin and growing environment🏞️

Tieguanyin's native place is Anxi County in Fujian Province, which has a subtropical monsoon climate with distinct four seasons, warm and humid weather, an average annual temperature of about 18°C, and annual rainfall of about 1,700 to 1,800 mm. The air humidity is high and often shrouded in clouds and mist, making it very suitable for the growth of tea trees. High-quality Tieguanyin tea is usually grown in mountainous areas at an altitude of 300 to 1,000 meters. The soil is mostly neutral to slightly acidic reddish-yellow soil, rich in various trace elements and organic matter. This environment gives Tieguanyin a rich amino acid content and a unique aroma, making its tea of ​​excellent quality. 👩🌾🌄

Production process and characteristics⏳

Tieguanyin's production process is meticulous, encompassing multiple steps, including picking, withering, shaking, initial roasting, and re-roasting. Each step requires meticulous control by experienced tea masters. The degree of fermentation typically ranges from 30% to 60%, allowing Tieguanyin to retain the delicate fragrance of green tea and the richness of black tea. Most remarkable is its unique "orchid fragrance," a long-lasting and captivating aroma developed through meticulous shaking and roasting. The finished product is in the form of tightly bound strands, with a dark green, glossy color and a heavy feel. 👃🔥
