China: Zhen Nong Xiang Iron Goddess Tie Guan Yin

浓香型铁观音 Nong Xiang Xing Tie Guan Yin Nongxiang Tieguanyin is a traditional-style, high-temperature-roasted oolong tea that stands out for its rich, mellow character and caramel sweetness, with a lingering aftertaste. Its defining feature is high‑temperature baking (typically 120–180°C), which transforms the leaves into a dark, glossy appearance and creates a complex aroma profile of toasted rice, caramel, and subtle orchid notes, often with a gentle hint of charcoal. The liquor is a clear golden‑yellow, and the taste is smooth, thick, and well‑rounded, with a pronounced sweet aftertaste (hui gan) that embodies the classic "Yin Yun" mineral‑floral resonance. 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
