TGY Black 觀音紅茶
Tie Guan Yin, widely renowned as Iron Goddess of Mercy in the West, is a beloved oolong tea cherished by tea enthusiasts worldwide for its unique aroma, sweetness, and lingering mouthfeel. But have you ever wondered what would happen if this exceptional tea were processed into a black tea? Our tea producer pondered the same question, leading to the creation of TGY Black.
This TGY Black pushes the boundaries of traditional tea processing techniques. While steadfast in preserving the Hong Xing cultivar (紅心歪尾桃), the producer sought to explore the potential of this varietal by incorporating tea processing methods from other regions, while considering the specific requirements of his own tea.
