Sometimes teas surprise us very pleasantly without expecting it. This most often happens when we are not in work mode. This is one of those surprises. When visiting Taipei, we always like to go up to the surrounding hills. This area is also one of the first to be planted with Chinese tea bushes in Taiwan in the 19th century and the presence of the Tie Guan Yin cultivar is very common here. The bushes are well adapted to these hills. We can find tea trees of various ages here, very often over 100 years old. The town of Muzha is known for its traditional style and highly oxidized Oolong teas. Muzha Tie Guan Yin is the star tea of the competition class. It has everything you would expect from a good Muzha Tie Guan Yin tea: a smooth, layered complexity that challenges the palate but never overwhelms it. You can taste dried fruit and roasted nuts with a caramelized sweet and spicy flavor. Everything is in perfect harmonious balance. It is a robust, powerful tea with great persistence and that is definitely not common! It is the mark of a well-crafted tea that shows the skill of its maker. This tea is great as is, but it will become stellar if you let it age, if you can resist not drinking it now… Either way, enjoy!
