Tie Guan Yin — Autumn 2024

Harvested in Autumn from traditional Tie Guan Yin varietals in Gande Village, Fujian, this oolong is lightly oxidised and crafted to highlight freshness and clarity. The liquor is bright and creamy, with floral aromatics and a soft, balanced bitterness.

Flavours open with fresh orchid, garden herbs, and green grape, giving way to a smooth, savoury base of sweet cream, steamed greens, and toasted almond. A clean, refreshing tea with a long, floral finish — endlessly drinkable.

How to brew
Gongfu Style 5g : 100ml

Our favourite way to brew tea. Use a gaiwan or small teapot and steep the leaves for around 30-45 seconds. Re-steep several times, adjusting the time as you go. Each infusion will bring out something slightly different from the leaves.

Western Style 1g : 100ml

For a larger pot or a single longer brew, use around 1g of tea per 100ml of water. Steep for 3-5 minutes, then strain. Increase the leaf or brewing time if you prefer a stronger cup.

Grandpa Style 1g : 100ml

The simplest way to brew. Add the leaves directly to your mug, fill with hot water and start drinking once the leaves have opened and begun to settle. When you're around two-thirds of the way through, top up with more hot water and keep going.
