This one I never tried and it got me curious. I saw it advertised in the last Tea Hong's newsletter.
I didn't know the Taiwanese grew a varietal of TGY but with a different and distinctive flavour.
Has anyone tried it?
First impressions?
Cheers
Re: Alishan Tieguanyin
Taiwan is actually famous for its TGY. But typically it is grown around the area of Muzha in the North. Compared to the Chinese modern version TW TGY is almost always at least medium roast, never green. More close to what TGY used to be in China before the trend for greener versions took over.bagua7 wrote: This one I never tried and it got me curious.

I can not for the life of it get used to Chinese TGY, the spinachy, grassy flavour makes me want to spit it out...
Not sure how Alishan TGY turns out though...
Re: Alishan Tieguanyin
Thanks for your reply. I ended up buying some Muzha TGY instead. Alishan is known for lovely gaoshan oolong. I didn't want to risk it for something I might not fully enjoy.
Cheers!
