[EN] Super floral, this is the only Tie Guan Yin I have tried and I absolutely love it. Ordered a 2nd bag a week after the first.
[EN] I love the floral quality of this tea. It has a nice fruitiness too vs. a vegetal component that some versions have. I like those too but this one really is special as the name states. It's my favorite Tie Guan Yin but I only gave it four stars because I still feel like a novice so I'm sure there is a Tie Guan Yin that is even better than this somewhere. At least I hope that is true. I enjoy the hunt. What can I say? I haven't been drinking tea of this quality long enough to pronounce any tea as 5*s tbh.
[EN] This was my last attempt at finding a "Tie Guan Yin" that I liked. Alas, my efforts were in vain. I'm done with this iron goddess. Seems its not for me. This particular version was... "unique" even in comparison to all other failed Tie Guan Yin brews i have attempted. The bag contains a lot of stalks, which isn't bad in and of itself but it does take up a large percentage of the weight of tea you buying. In my humble opinion this has a quite chemical flavour, is highly astringent and lacks any sort of nuanced flavour profile. Not for me I'm afraid. You may enjoy?
