Qing Xiang Tieguanyin 2026
An affordable Qing Xiang Tieguanyin with plenty of character: fresh, floral, and distinctly lively.
The first sip of this tea reminds of a crisp green apple, combined by bright floral notes. There is a certain assertiveness to this tea, fresh and energetic rather than soft, which gives the otherwise delicate Qing Xiang style a particularly vivid expression. The green-apple acidity carries through the infusions, keeping the profile brisk and refreshing.
For a richer and smoother expression, choose our Qing Xiang Tieguanyin Superior; for greater refinement, explore our Qing Xiang Tieguanyin Wang.
