Traditional Tie Guan Yin (or Bai Ya Qi Lan) is the roasted variation which is the traditional way of processing this tea. The leaves are partially oxidised and then roasted over charcoal at very low temperature for several times. Once it brewed, aroma is pleasurable slightly roasted notes of toasted seeds and cocoa. The dark, rolled leaves will open slowly over multiple infusions and the golden orange infusion has a nutty and sweet aftertaste.
The tea is very easy to brew, it can be easily brewed in a mug without spoil the leaves. It is a very good tea to serve at the dinner table too.
Unlike the green coloured Tie Guan Yin, this traditionally roasted Tie Guan Yin is particular nice to drink in the winter giving you pleasant warming and comforting feeling. This tea can be consumed now, but it also matures well and can be successfully aged so storage is an option.
