Spring harvest - May 2021
Tie Guan Yin leaf is only plucked when the leaf is grown-up and matured and this leaf becomes very big and thick. There are two harvest seasons – May for spring harvest and October for Autumn harvest – the flavour of each season is unique. The plucked leaf (the top 3 – 4 open leaves with a stem) will be withered under sun for a short time and then moved to indoor for oxidization and rolling process forms tight pellets and create a complex range of flavours which slowly emerge when brewed. Tea then is dried and finally the stem will be removed by hand one by one.
