When we first tried Tie Guan Yin we almost wrote it off but we are glad we didn't. Our first experience was steeping gong fu cha style, and the first few steeps have a very flat and bland flavor. If you give the tea a little time though, the flavor opens up into a wonderful naturally sweet tea that keeps getting sweeter as you steep it more. We wanted to offer a Tie Guan Yin that can hopefully expose others to this surprising flavor just like we experienced it.
