Category: Oolong

Our Roasted Tie Guan Yin makes the most of this classic oolong style, taking a few unexpected turns along the way. The hearty aroma never backs down, and the tea feels thicker—and tastes sweeter—than expected. It's nutty and very creamy: think macadamia nuts, with a roasted exterior giving way to buttery sweetness. If you follow each sip along to the end, you'll find a subtle mineral note. These large tea leaves perform well for many steeps, and make a compelling gong fu experience.

Tie Guan Yin (or Iron Goddess of Mercy) teas encompass a range of flavor, some roasted like this one, others lighter and more floral. We enjoy how this particular tea balances rich, hearty flavors with an undeniably smooth drinking experience.

Claire V. ★★★★★

I wasn’t expecting such a thick, almost syrupy mouthfeel from an oolong—the sweetness lingers nicely without being cloying. Perfectly roasted, with a warmth that makes it great for evening sipping.

Chloe N. ★★★★★

I've been drinking green oolongs for years and this roasted version caught me off guard in the best way. The sweetness builds through the third steep and the body stays thick the whole time.

Leo ★★★★★

The roasted flavor is deeper than the greener Tie Guan Yin I used to drink, almost like toasted grain, and it never turns bitter even when I forget the leaves in the pot. The liquor really does feel thicker going down, with a sweetness that lingers after each sip.
