From Nannuoshan

Robust and flavourful, this Tieguanyin differentiates itself from most other teas with that name: an intense roasting and ageing for more than twenty years has transformed the usual fruity and floral profile into deeper notes of cocoa, roasted wheat, and straw, with the consistency and rich aromas of orange or raspberry liqueur. A tea to offer to distinguished guests or enjoy as an after-dinner digestif, it can produce several infusions to sustain a long afternoon or evening.

Among our other Tieguanyin selections from the Taiwanese tea master Chen, our vintage selection represents some of his true masterpieces, and, in addition to this one from 1995, we also offer his Tieguanyin 1997 and 2000.

Roasty, rich and tannic, this 28 year old tea must have been properly stored, because there are no stale or musty notes at all. Tieguanyin is often offered in lighter, green roasts. As far as I’m concerned, those aren’t really Tieguanyin. This properly dark roasted offering gives you the Iron Goddess of Mercy as she was intended to be, with plum skin sweetness and red wine astringency. Forget the green stuff. Once you go black, you’ll never go back.
