Harvested in Autumn 2013 and produced entirely by hand from start to finish using hand kneading and basket roasting. Re-roasted in 2019 and then roasted again October 2023. 

This tea has a unique character that is mellower than a recently produced roasted Tie Guan Yin. There is a cooling feeling in the mouth and an herbaceous character that reminds me of Grass Jelly 仙草 pudding. There is an underlying sweetness that will become more prominent as the most recent re-roasting taste fades. 

A totally unique tea experience for lovers of Tie Guan Yin and darker oolongs!

Great aged TGY. Despite the

"Great aged TGY. Despite the high quality, on the rather pricey side, almost overpriced. Brewing params: 6g/100ml, 95C, 30s Dry smell: slightly medicinal charcoal Heated/wet smell: charcoal Tasting notes: very sweet and herbaceous, grass jelly pudding, long lasting sweet aftertaste (hui guan)"

Nice Aged Oolong

"I really enjoyed my first few sessions with this tea. wonderful roasted character that is pretty upfront but very pleasant and dissipates into a sweet woody character in the later steeps."

— Chris L. (5/5)

Delish!

"Toasty with some florality lingering, a touch of bamboo. This was my first aged oolong to try, and I'm glad I did. I've got another few servings to have, but I've been very pleased with it."

— Andrew A. (5/5)

Masterfully roasted!

"This is a lovely Tie Guan Yin, possibly the best I have ever tasted in this price category. The roast is subtle but powerful. I will be interested how the sweetness will increase, once the roasting taste will have decreased."

— Peter S. (5/5)
