A Week of Ti Kuan Yin
Ti Kuan Yin Oolong Tea from Orange Tea Co.
It’s going to be a week of ti kuan yin here on Tea Finely Brewed. Over the past few months I’ve accumulated a nice little collection of ti kuan yin teas from different merchants, so I thought it would be interesting to review them all in the same week.
At a glance, here’s what I’ll be reviewing:
- A Taiwanese ti kuan yin from Serenity Teahouse
- Tea Trekker’s clear and fragrant-style ti kuan yin from Fujian Province, China
- Orange Tea Co.’s ti kuan yin, pictured above
- Chicago Tea Room’s Competition Grade ti kuan yin
If you hate ti kuan yin, check back next week:)

Nice! I will surely check back. And in case you want to extend it to 2 weeks of Tie Guan Yin, I can give you some. Modern green style, traditional green style, traditional charcoal roast, I have them all

Thank you for introducing this category! Having discovered Ti Kuan Yin myself just this past week, this is a very timely subject. I’m curious to know of the differences between the processing styles. The variety I’m enjoying this week seems to be more of a Taiwanese “green” style, which makes me think that the traditional “black” style may be even more of a treat!

Thank you Gingko and Latteteadah for your comments! I’ve enjoyed doing the first two reviews already. Ti Kuan Yin is a fascinating species of tea.
