Home : off15 : Ti Kuan Yin : Loose Ti Kuan Yin Tea : China Ti Kuan Yin : Superfine Anxi Ti Kuan Yin |  | 
Ten Tea'sSM Superfine Ti Kuan Yin (Tie Guan Yin) is also known as Anxi Ti Kuan Yin. Anxi is a town in the southern part of the Fujian Province in China. Anxi is known for producing the finest Ti Kuan Yin in the world. Ten Tea selects some of the finest Ti Kuan Yin from Anxi for this tea. The steeped tea has a yellow hue, a floral aroma with slight roasted undertones, a strong smooth initial flavor, and a faintly sweet and fresh aftertaste which lasts long after the sip.
The water used to steep this tea should be about 185-195°F or 85-90°C. Use about 1.5 teaspoons (3 grams) of tea leaves for about every 5 ounces (150 milliliters) of water. A steeping time of about 3-5 minutes is recommended with more or less time depending on the desired concentration. As a rough guide, the higher the temperature of the water or the greater the amount of leaves used, the shorter the steeping time should be. For the ultimate enjoyment, a traditional Chinese Yixing teapot is recommended for loose Ti Kuan Yin tea. The teapot should be half filled with leaves and initially steeped for 45 seconds to 1 minute with the steeping time increased by an additional 15 seconds for each successive steeping. The leaves may be steeped multiple times. Net tea weight 4 ounces (113 g) and shipping weight 0.28 lb.
