Qing Xiang Tieguanyin Wang 2025
This stellar Qing Xiang Tieguanyin, with quality befitting an emperor, shows that a “more of everything” approach does not always yield better results. If you expect an even more intense experience than our Qing Xiang Tieguanyin Superior, you may be disappointed. Instead, this tea radiates refinement and elegance.
The leaves—green, blue, and purple—smell complex and layered even when dry. Once bathed in water, the aroma shows asparagus, milk and a faintly salty note, lifted by gardenia and honeysuckle. From the first cup, that florality translates to white blossoms on the palate with citrus fruits and milk, leaving a refreshingly floral aftertaste—and the conviction that it can’t get much better than this.
Acknowledging that this is not an everyday Tieguanyin, we’ve got you covered: explore our more affordable Qing Xiang Tieguanyin for a daily drinker, and our Qing Xiang Tieguanyin Superior for a bolder experience—all from the same tea garden.
