Originated in the 18th century, Tie Guan Yin is characterised by its curly dark jade green leaves. Two harvests are made per year - spring (i.e. Jade Tie Guan Yin) and autumn (i.e. Autumn Tie Guan Yin)with the latter being ranked best.
Anxi Guan Yin Wang (观音王) is selected from the autumn harvest using high quality Tie Guan Yin processed by experienced tea growers. Itoffers a pleasant fragrance coupled with lingering sweet after-taste.
To savour the full flavour of Anxi Guan Yin Wang:
- Add 1 sachet of tea leaves in teapot** and add some boiled water to rinse tea leaves.
- Pour the water to fill about 1/3 of the volume of the teapot and swirl the tea leaves in the pot for about 30 seconds.
- Top up the teapot with more water (approx. 150ml per sachet of tea leaves).
- Steep for another 35 seconds prior to drinking. Increase the steeping time for subsequent brewing.
**: Best to use Yixing Zisha teapot
