Discover Tian Hu Shan Ti Kuan Yin Oolong Tea

A thoughtfully crafted loose leaf tea, packaged in a sturdy 4oz (113g) tin, ready to elevate your tea moments. Ti Kuan Yin, a celebrated oolong, hails from high mountain gardens where unique microclimates and mineral-rich soil shape its distinctive aroma and velvety texture. This tea invites you to slow down, savor the aroma, and enjoy a smooth cup that harmonizes strength and subtle sweetness without overwhelming bitterness.

Origin, craft, and character

Ti Kuan Yin leaves are sourced from elevated tea gardens in the Anxi region, where cool nights and misty days nurture refined flavors. The traditional processing sequence—careful withering, gentle rolling, precise fermentation, and oxidation—helps create a tea with a refined mouthfeel and a lingering finish. The result is a visually tight leaf that unfurls to release a clear, amber liquor when brewed.

Flavor profile and sensory notes

Brewing guidelines and enjoyment ideas

Loosen the leaves in hot water to unlock the full character of Ti Kuan Yin. Suggested starting points include a water temperature near 205°F (96°C) and a steep time of 3–4 minutes. For a milder cup, shorten the steep; for a bolder cup, extend within your taste preference. A well-measured infusion makes it easy to enjoy a calming ritual, whether solo or shared with company.

The tin packaging helps preserve freshness, making it convenient to keep the leaves in optimal condition between sessions. Whether you’re planning a quiet tea break, entertaining guests, or building a morning routine, Ti Kuan Yin offers a versatile tea experience that can adapt to your schedule without demanding certainty.
