Tie Guan Yin “Iron Goddess” Oolong Tea (Ti Kuan Yin) from Teavivre

Alreot drank Tie Guan Yin “Iron Goddess” Oolong Tea (Ti Kuan Yin) by Teavivre

My 4th review!

Water: 8oz Boiling

Leaves: Dry leaves-Small circles & Wet-The leaves were huge,the biggest tea leaves I’ve seen so far with my brewing experience!

Steep: 3 minutes

Aroma: The scent was the strongest of any of the previous teas made,I was surprised. It took me quite some time to type the aroma,floral.

Color: deep pale yellow

Taste: I rinsed this tea first due to reading that it’s good to rinse Oolong teas first. I did so for 30 seconds then brewed regularly.The taste was light with floral accents despite it’s deep yellow appearance.

Oolongs resteep several times and change some with each cup. By about the third cup the leaf fills the pot.
