Ma Tou Yan Tie Luo Han 2019

Exclusive oolong tea from the Wuyi Mountains, China

There are many hills and valleys in Wuyishan, northern Fujian, called “nine-bent streams, thirty-six peaks, seventy-two caves, and ninety-nine rocks”. This area is called Zheng Yan Cha, the Wuyishan Core Area. Ma Tou Yan is produced in this area of Fujian.

Tie Luo Han is one of the so-called Four Famous Wuyi Teas (Da Hong Pao, Bai Ji Guan, Shui Jin Gui, and Tie Luo Han), that has a long history. It is said that Tie Luo Han was first found in Fujian province, Wuyi City, Hui Yuang Keng, Gui Dong, where the mother tree can be found to this day.

Taste notes:
The aroma of the steaming leaves is a cozy mix of earthy, fruity, and spicy scents with hints of anise and cloves. The first brew revealed flavors akin to sweet gingerbread, with a subtle dark undertone and a touch of propolis, giving the tea its intriguing character. The aftertaste is exceptionally lasting, starting sweet and only growing sweeter with time.

How to prepare


3 g 0.1 oz 0.7 US tsp	95°C 203°F	100 ml 3.4 fl oz 100 cc	30 sec.~

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Fill your pot with tea leaves in a 3g/100ml ratio, pour boiling water on them, and brew for 30 seconds.
STEP 3) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 4) Brew again.

❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about half the time of the first infusion. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (to about 35-40 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.
