Jing 'Monkey Picked ' Tieguanyin - "Verdict: 9/10 - Martin Isark, Daily Mail
"This is a very rare tea. It is slightly nutty and tastes rather like apricots. it has hardly any tannin in it and tastes a little malty. Excellent. "
It is also wonderful when paired with fried mushrooms.
*Based on 3g per serving, infused 3 times.
Infuse: 1 tbs per cup in near boiling water for 2-3 minutes

A delicious everyday oolong
A very solid, old-school style TGY. This "monkey picked" version is more oxidized and higher roasted than the current "green" oolongs coming from Anxi. I for one much prefer this, the traditional, Tie Guan Yin style. Will be re-ordering this delightful oolong.
