nannuoshan traveling China: blog from Anxi, where tieguanyin is produced
The third blog of the nannuoshan’s tea journey in China is online:
http://www.nannuoshan.org/blogs/blog/18652675-the-anxi-county-and-its-tieguanyin
Read about our adventures in Anxi, the county where the Tiaguanyin tea is produced.
Visit to the Anxi Tea Society. Stay at a farmer house, where the first Tieguanyin was cultivated, centuries ago. Visit to an organic tea factory.
Yes, it was really cold!
I live in Switzerland and I am used to cold temperature. But we have heating at home!
I sleep in a room without heating and prefer rather low temperature at home. But 10°C is a little to low indoor!
Very interesting! Tiguanyin is my current favourite tea, so it’s always nice to read things like this :-)
You might also like to read this morning’s tasting, comparing three Tieguanyin teas.

Very interesting indeed! It must have been reassuring to know that your Tieguanyin was picked out as best each time :-)
The three teas were really similar to each other. I was happy to hear from Marcella and Sabrina that they liked our TGY better. But, sincerely speaking, they are all average TGY corresponding to their price.
Outstanding TGY are much more expensive and rare.
Well sure – that’s often the case with these famous oolongs, I guess! But for the average, day-to-day consumption, it doesn’t have to be China’s finest, $1000 per gram tea hahaha :-) Just a good, flavoursome infusion with good quality leaves is enough for me!
I know what you’re saying, though, and your honesty is always nice to hear!
