Collection: Anxi Oolong
Floral, creamy, and layered. Anxi oolong is often introduced through Tieguanyin, but the region is not defined by a single name. In Longjuan and the surrounding mountain areas, different cultivars like Tieguanyin, Ben Shan, Mao Xie, Huang Jin Gui pass through closely related processes, yet settle into distinct expressions once finished. Tieguanyin, in its more traditional strip style, opens slowly, with a restrained floral tone and a firmer aftertaste. Huang Jin Gui sits higher in aroma. Ben Shan and Mao Xie fall between these directions, shaped as much by processing as by cultivar.
Our selection comes from long-term work with the same producers in Anxi. We do not change sources each season. What is offered here reflects continuity — of place, of handling, and of judgement over time.
