Ich habe im Asia-Laden heute den bislang günstigsten Tie Guan Yin – Dose unter vier Euro – gefunden und natürlich gekauft. Und zu Hause direkt ausprobiert. Der Tee wäre sicher als Tie Guan Yin zu erkennen, wenn man ihn blind verkosten würde. Und man kann ihn trinken, wenn man nix anderes hat.
Ich denke, das ist ein Tee, den man auch gut mal für eine einzelne Tasse benutzen kann. Wenn man nicht die Muße hat, [..]
Autumn Traditional Tie Guan Yin from Verdant Tea (2022). OK, I shoulda maybe drunk this sooner, but slightly vintage teas have their own subtle charms.

I found this "Osmanthus Oolong" from White2Tea at the back of my Dancong stash. Looking at the dry leaves, it definitely is not Dancong. Funnily, when I asked White2Tea about this "Osmanthus Oolong", they didn't remember it either. I guess we both forgot about it. Anyway, it is a tasty tie guan yin style oolong, vaguely osmanthus scented (though, no actual osmanthus flowers involved).

Tea and Temples at Maokong
Wednesday, December 27th, 2023 @ Taipei, Taiwan
https://www.rovingsun.com/2023/12/27/tea-and-temples-at-maokong/
We headed to Maokong, a mountainous area just at the edge of Taipei, after breakfast at the Grand Hyatt. We ended up checking out a few temples, enjoyed the scenery, and bought some local tea as Maokong is a historic tea producing area.

The weather forecast looked good again today so we headed to Maokong, a mountainous area just at the edge of Taipei, after breakfast at the Grand Hyatt. We ended up checking out a few temples, enjoyed the scenery, and bought some local tea as Maokong is a historic tea producing area.
Fireside TGY from White2Tea (club). According to the newsletter, this is an "everyday" quality charcoal roasted Tie Guan Yin that they picked up to fill out the roster of teas for the month. Early flavors are good, toasty-bready-tropical, but not much complexity or length of flavor, done in 5 or six steeps. As advertised.

I'm running out of my #Emeishan #tea at work, so I got myself some #Tieguanyin to replace it. This is the recently-innovated, so-called "Jade Guanyin", actually, which is lightly-roasted instead of the usual fully-roasted #wulong variety that Tieguanyin usually is. It's closer to a green than a full-blown wulong with lots of floral nose to it and a lovely, complicated flavour. (This despite the fact it's an early-summer Tieaguanyin which is the second-lowest grade.) Being closer to a green means it has all of green teas' usual problems including a very high tannic acid level. You have to wash this tea if you don't want acrid bitter concealing all the other flavours. It's a fairly forgiving tea, however, with ample "oomph" in flavouring that will let you get multiple brews from even the relatively small amount of leaf each packet contains. This means if you overwash the taste won't vanish. You'll just lose one or two useful brews. @[email protected]
