Description:

Oolong is a traditional Chinese tea somewhere between green and black in oxidation. It ranges from 10% to 70% oxidation. It is among the most popular types of teas served in typical Chinese restaurants. Oolong has a taste more akin to green tea than to black tea: it lacks the rosy, sweet aroma of black tea but it likewise does not have the stridently grassy vegetal notes that typify green tea. It is commonly brewed to be strong, with the bitterness leaving a sweet aftertaste. The Oolong produced in the Wuyi Mountains of northern Fujian is the most famous Chinese teas.

Tie Guan Yin is a premium variety of Chinese oolong tea associated with Anxi in Fujian province, which is named after the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara (known in Chinese as Guan Yin). This oolong is typically close to a green tea, with only a little fermentation. Consequently, it has a very flowery, delicate aroma without the green tea "grassiness" or astringency. The processing of Tie Guan Yin tea (TGY) is complex and requires expertise. Even if the tea leaf is of high raw quality, and is plucked at the ideal time, if it is not processed correctly its true character will not be shown. This is why the method of processing Tie Guan Yin Tea was kept a secret.
