Togo drank Iron Goddess (Tie Guan Yin) Top Grade by Tao Tea Leaf

947 tasting notes

This is the best Tie Guan Yin I have tried until now. The dry leaves smell of fruit, most prominantly peach. However, in the wet leaf aroma, I found more of floral, grassy and egg yolk notes. The taste is bright and balanced, something that I lacked in other TGYs. Mouthfeel is very soft and lubricating, not much astringency to be found here.

Overall, I enjoy this tea a lot, and I am glad I found a TGY I can appreciate.

Flavors: Floral, Grass, Peach

Preparation

200 °F / 93 °C 1 min, 30 sec 6 g 6 OZ / 180 ML

I had been drinking Japanese green tea for a while before discovering the world of tea in 2017. I rarely drink blends and generally avoid artificially scented teas. Other than that I try to keep it varied.
