The ancient Chinese had considered ten virtues of tea: dispersing depression, driving sleepiness, keeping away from disease, popularizing propriety and kindness, expressing respect, tasting, keeping health, righting wrongs and refining interests.

  To enjoy tie guan yin tea, we usually need a bell-shaped cup the tureen to brew the “Kungfu tea”. The ratio between leaves and water is 1:22 and the process takes 1-3 minutes. Now judge the tie guan yin tea combined with the following nine inherent features:

  1. The pure tie guan yin tea has oval leaves with sparse teeth and dull margin, the leaf-surface is wavy uplift with obvious bone-shaped. The mesophyll is hypertrophy with smooth dark-green, and slightly blunt in leaf base while leaf tip slightly askew to the left and slightly drooping with purple buds. So it has a calling as “askew-tail peach with red bud”.

  2. Anxi tie guan yin tea should highlight the “Kwan-yin lingering charm”. The ancients had a saying as “people may smell the saint aroma not even tasting the nectar”. Take a small sip and switch your tongue lightly, you can feel mellow, smooth and fresh. Swallow slowly and you’ll feel a sweet taste with honey with lasting appeal. But what is the Kwan-yin lingering charm? Although there are many different sayings, the tie guan yin tea should be prominent on its aroma and taste. The pure tie guan yin tea has an aftertaste after drinking. The water is with aroma and aroma contains water.

  3. In appearance, the leaves of Anxi dragon well tea are strong knotting, heavy and green-blue in bud while green in belly shaped as a dragonfly. The leaves are with fresh color and white frost covering them.
