This traditionally roasted Iron Goddess is really nice. There are a few tricks to get it just right. After heating my gaiwan really hot, I put the tea leaves in it and shake it. Then I pour boiling water on it for just 15 seconds. Then I get a nice roastiness with a subtle sweetness that is perfect for a dark winter night.
An Xi Iron Goddess
Oolong Tea by J-TEA
This batch of An Xi Tie Guan Yin is well oxidized and was given a heavy roast. The roasting adds to the body in this tea. It accentuates many of the underlying flavors and holds them in place so that we can enjoy them more intensely.
