JIN GUANYIN GOLDEN GODDESS OF MERCY BLACK TEA

This rare tea treasure is from the fertile gardens in the high mountains of Fujian province. It is a new variety of black tea produced from a new hybrid created to produce a new type of oolong tea. It is made using the famous Tie Guan Yin varietal grafted to another type of oolong tea bush, Huang Jin Gui. The idea was to combine the buttery, alpine character of Tie Guan Yin with the osmanthus scent of Huang Jin Gui. It has been processed to produce this distinctive new black tea type. The tightly twisted, black leaf with fine silvery-gold tips gives a deliciously sweet, smooth, exceptionally flavoured drink with hints of fruit and pepper. It is made entirely by hand from young tips that are withered, twisted, oxidised then dried and shaped before the final sorting is done.
