This tea is from the Tieguanyin Tea Tree \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e红芯歪尾桃 variety, which is a different variety from that used for our Taiwanese High Mountain Oolong. This variety of tea tree was brought to Taiwan from Anxi, Fujian province, over 125 years ago. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea is a highly oxidized and lightly roasted tieguanyin, with a resulting darker brew. The tea has a rich mouthfeel with fruity notes, little acidity, and a nice orchid aroma that is typical of a good tieguanyin. The sweet aftertaste lingers long after the last sip has been taken. The tea was harvested in Spring 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBREWING METHODS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKung Fu Brewing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWarm the teapot or gaiwan by adding hot water and then pouring it out.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdd around 5g of tea for every 150ml of water.
