Varietal
Master Zhang excels at finishing his traditional Tieguanyin. He works in a way to brings out the florals and strengthen them, allowing the green quality of the tea to shine through while providing a sweet and nuanced counterbalance through delicate roasting. This is the tea that Master Zhang grew up with and his greatest passion. The autumn weather, mist shaded mountain air and sweet spring water make this true Tieguanyin varietal tea even more nuanced.
