Tie Guan Yin is a popular type of oolong tea. Oolong teas are semi-oxidized, which puts them in a category between green and black teas in flavor and appearance. The controlled level of oxidation creates a complex flavor profile. Tie Guan Yin can also be roasted, adding to its complexity. Depending on the production style, Tie Guan Yin can be rich and floral, or deep and toasty.
Tie Guan Yin Originated in China’s Anxi region of Fujian province in the 19th century, and it is still grown there today. The leaves are from the Tie Guan Yin tea cultivar, although others are also used. The leaves are rolled into a tight semi-balled shape, which slowly unfurls as you steep the tea. This aromatic tea can be steeped many times, allowing the leaves to completely open up, and release their flavors.
Other names: Iron Goddess of Mercy, Ti Kuan Yin, Tieguanyin, Guanyin, and Iron Buddha, many tea drinkers refer to it simply as TGY
铁观音是现今一种流行的乌龙茶。乌龙茶是半氧化的，这使它们在风味和外观上介于绿茶和红茶之间。受控的氧化水平产生了复合的风味特征。铁观音也可以拿来烘烤以增加它的复合性。根据制作方式的不同，铁观音可以有花香的感觉，也可以有烘烤过的浓醇香味。铁观音于19世纪起源于中国福建省安溪地区，此茶至今仍在那里生长。其叶子来自铁观音茶品种，但有时也使用其他品种。叶子被卷成一个紧密的球形，当你泡茶时它会慢慢展开。这种芳香的茶可以浸泡多次，让叶子完全张开并释放出它们的味道。
