Ti Kuan Yin can either mean a variety of a Oolong tea tree or a unique production method. For a tea to be called Original Ti Kuan Yin, it must fulfill the two aforementioned aspects.

The production method is complicated as the tea leaves must be repeatedly rolled and cloth twisted and then charcoal roasted for several days.
The tea of the Ti Kuan Yin carries a dense ripe fruit aroma and has a clear amber color. Each sip of the tea is rich and full-bodied.

The tea’s honey aroma stays at the bottom of the cup and allows the drinker to experience the tea over and over again.
