About
Zheng Wei Tie Guan Yin Oolong, Traditional Charcoal-Roasted Tie Guan Yin from Anxi, Fujian, China.
“Zheng Wei” means “authentic taste” or “proper taste”. In Anxi Tie Guan Yin, it refers to a traditional style that highlights the true character of the Tie Guan Yin cultivar through careful shaking, natural oxidation, and balanced roasting.
Anxi Zheng Wei Tie Guan Yin is made to express the authentic character of the Tie Guan Yin cultivar. The original Tie Guan Yin tea bush is historically known for its “red heart and crooked tail” leaf form, a distinctive cultivar prized for its orchid fragrance, layered body, and mineral-sweet aftertaste.
Unlike modern green-style Tie Guan Yin, this tea follows a more traditional approach. The leaves are carefully shaken and oxidised to develop the natural cultivar aroma, then charcoal-roasted in three rounds to bring out depth, warmth, and structure. This process preserves the elegant orchid fragrance of Tie Guan Yin while adding roasted sweetness, smoothness, and a more grounded finish.
The tea opens with classic orchid aroma, ripe floral sweetness, gentle charcoal warmth, and a rounded golden liquor. The texture is extra smooth and gentle, with a clean finish and a long mineral aftertaste that reflects the harmony of cultivar, oxidation, and roasting craftsmanship.
Refined, traditional, and deeply aromatic, this is a Tie Guan Yin for those seeking the authentic Fujian Anxi oolong character beyond mass production or ordinary styles.
