Category: Oolong

Our Roasted Tie Guan Yin makes the most of this classic oolong style, taking a few unexpected turns along the way. The hearty aroma never backs down, and the tea feels thicker—and tastes sweeter—than expected. It's nutty and very creamy: think macadamia nuts, with a roasted exterior giving way to buttery sweetness. If you follow each sip along to the end, you'll find a subtle mineral note. These large tea leaves perform well for many steeps, and make a compelling gong fu experience.

Tie Guan Yin (or Iron Goddess of Mercy) teas encompass a range of flavor, some roasted like this one, others lighter and more floral. We enjoy how this particular tea balances rich, hearty flavors with an undeniably smooth drinking experience.

David Q. ★★★★★

The sweetness really comes through on the second steep, way more than the greener Tie Guan Yins I've tried. It's got this thicker mouthfeel that I wasn't expecting from an oolong, and the roast lingers nicely without turning bitter.

Scarlett ★★★★★

The roasted aroma hits you the second the water goes in, and it somehow gets heartier with each steep. What surprised me most is how thick the body feels on the tongue—less like a lighter oolong and more like something almost syrupy.

Steven ★★★★★

I wasn't expecting the sweetness to come through so clearly under all that roast, but it really does—thick on the tongue and almost honeyed at the end. The aroma holds up steep after steep, which I appreciate since I usually get three good cups out of an oolong.
