Story & history
One tea, different styles
This account describes a tradition or story, rather than an established historical fact.
Tieguanyin is shaped by both tea leaves and processing. Its orchid-like aroma is a tasting description, not a requirement to add orchids. Ask for 清香型 for a fresher floral style or 浓香型 for a fuller roasted style.
