Product Description
Super F...Feug Huang Oolong Tea<br /><br />Product Description<br />Super Fine Ti Kuan Yin (Tie Guan Yin) is also known as Anxi Ti Kuan Yin. Anxi is a town in the Zhejiang Province,China. Anxi is known for producing the finest Ti Kuan Yin in the world. Ten Ren selects some of the finest Ti Kuan Yin from Anxi for this tea.<br /><br />The water used to steep this tea should be about 185-195°F or 85-90°C. Use about 1.5 teaspoons (3 grams) of tea leaves for about every 5 ounces (150 milliliters) of water. A steeping time of about 3-5 minutes is recommended with more or less time depending on the desired concentration. As a rough guide, the higher the temperature of the water or the greater the amount of leaves used, the shorter the steeping time should be. For the ultimate enjoyment, a traditional Chinese Yixing teapot is recommended for loose Ti Kuan Yin tea. The teapot should be half filled with leaves and initially steeped for 45 seconds to 1 minute with the steeping time increased by an additional 15 seconds for each successive steeping. The leaves may be steeped multiple times.<br />Other names:<br />Jade Iron Goddess of Mercy, Jade Ti Kwan Yin<br />Taste:<br />Super Fine Ti Kuan Yin Tie Guan Yin, the dried tea leaves have very subtle fragrance.

Refreshing, mild but lasting floral aftertaste.<br />Appearance:<br />Tightly curled dark jade green leaves. The infusion is yellowish green in color .<br />Origin: Zhejiang Province,China<br />www.myteashoppe.com<br />black tea,loose tea, herbal teajet airways onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09636682515487360488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933411972800147432.post-44531194955458973002010-10-08T00:20:43.332-04:002010-10-08T00:20:43.332-04:00This experience is so Chinatown old school!
