China: Qing Xiang Xing Iron Goddess Tie Guan Yin

清香型铁观音 Qing Xiang Xing Tie Guan Yin If Nongxiang is the warm, roasted "old friend," then Qingxiang is the fresh, vibrant, and floral "spring morning." It burst onto the scene in the 1990s, revolutionizing the Tieguanyin market with its bright green color and delicate, perfume-like aroma. It was heavily influenced by Taiwanese oolong processing techniques and quickly became the dominant style for a new generation of tea drinkers. Qingxiang Tieguanyin is a lightly oxidized, minimally roasted oolong known for its bright, vibrant freshness and intense floral aroma. Its leaves are a lively green, and its pale golden liquor delivers a crisp, brisk, and delicately sweet taste dominated by a penetrating orchid fragrance. Unlike its roasted counterpart, this style must be kept refrigerated and enjoyed within a year to preserve its fleeting, garden-like charm. Wu Guang Yan makes tea in Anxi County, Fujian — the birthplace of Tie Guan Yin oolong. His list of achievements is remarkable: from 2012 to 2026, he secured an extraordinary ten gold and ten silver medals in various tea competitions, including a three-peat of "Gold Medal Tea King" titles at the Anxi Tieguanyin Tea King Competitions in 2024, 2025, and 2026 Origin: Gan De, Anxi, China Producer: Wu Guang Yan Cultivar: Tie Guan Yin Flavor Profile: Delicate roasted, pineapple, deeply floral Servings: 5 x 5g Net weight: 25g
