This tea can still easily impress without breaking the bank. Please note that tea price equates quality and quality equates with benefit. Tie Guan Yin tea making is a state of art, not state of science. It takes 13 to 16 hours to complete its 7-step process. Every step has to be "right" to make high-quality tea, and yet there is not exactly a "right" way because the right way for each batch of tea is different. The right way for each batch of tea depends on a lot of uncontrollable factors, such as the amount of dew on fresh tea leaves, strong or weak sunlight, or the moist in the air, etc. It is therefore up to tea masters to determine what should happen during each step. Not until the end can we know the final quality of a tea batch. Like any famous tea, there are a lot of fake Anxi Oolong Teas on the market. It is very important that you purchase your teas from a reputable store like us. Both the liquid and dried leaves of authentic Anxi Oolong Tea has a wonderful floral aroma. The brewed tea has a complex flavors that swirl around the mouth. Fake tea will not have this.
