Oxidized 70%, the tea’s most distinguishing characteristic is the flash of silver which appears on the spear-like points of its most delicate leaves. After steeping, the tea produces the fruit-like sweetness of a black tea but with an incredible honey-like fragrance of an Oolong. Sweet and smooth, the tea is also called Oriental Beauty; under this name, the tea attained fame in Japan and Europe. 2. Supreme Tie Kuan Yin Oolong Tea: Grown in the An-xi region of China’s Fujian province, Tie Kuan Yin is the world’s most renowned oolong tea. 40% oxidation results in a tightly wound, uniform tea that is very dense, sage green in color and with what appears to be a light glazing of frost. The art of making Tie Kuan Yin is quite complicated, particularly as the tea nears completion. It is refired one final time at a very low temperature; at this point the most distinguishing feature of the tea (the light glazing of frost) appears on the outside of the tea as the remaining moisture is slowly steamed out. The most authentic method for making Tie Kuan Yin (Gong-fu Cha) requires the delicate tea wares from Yi-Xing. The tiny pot fits in the palm of one’s hand, and the cups are walnut sized. The pot is filled half full with tea and prepared quickly, as a series of successive steeping bring out a perfume-like fragrance, yet on which is balanced by a lingering sweetness on the tongue. The high point of this method of taking tea was reached during the Qing dynasty. Throughout Fu-Jian, Chaozhou, and Quanzhou, teahouses flourished like mushrooms after a rain.
