In contrast to the more “out there” offerings from the Liu family, this traditionally finished Tieguanyin gives a sense of the natural flavor of the Longjuan region and of the Liu Family's tea plants in particular. This traditional Tieguanyin is dripping with honey sweetness with a buttery flavor brought out through oxidation. In the aftertaste an intriguing cooling wintergreen note starts to develop several steepings in, hinting at the deep complexity of flavor that the Liu Family's unique plot of land brings to their tea.
