Using Taiwan autumn tea as material, this Monkey Picked Tie Guanyin carefully selected by Teavivre is baked slowly by soft fire. The degree of fermentation is 100 percent so that the dried tea can keep a long-lasting fragrance. After brewing, the sweet smell of honey peach and the baked flavor can be perfectly appreciated and the beverage tastes gorgeously smooth.
Legend has it that the cliff is too abrupt for people to pick the Oolong tea leaves. Therefore, monkeys are trained to climb the cliff and help tea farmers pick the Oolong tea leaves. Another saying goes that tea farmers need to tie a rope around the waist during the process of picking, just like a monkey. Hence obtains its name.
Taiwan Jin Xuan Milk Oolong Tea
Teavivre's Jin Xuan Milk Tea is another kind of fine classic Taiwan Oolong. It belongs to a category of tea often called "Milk Oolong". However, this Jin Xuan Milk Oolong is special and unique because its milky aroma is natural. This Jin Xuan Milk Oolong Tea is imported directly from Taiwan to Fujian, China.
Tie Guan Yin "Iron Goddess" Oolong Tea
Tie Guan Yin tea is a type of Oolong tea, and is - deservedly - one of the most revered and sought after type tea in China. It is sometimes written as Ti Kuan Yin or Iron Goddess Oolong Tea. Apart from its amazing taste, this tea also has great health benefits, being high in amino acids, vitamins and antioxidants.

The milk oolong sounds so interesting! How does it compare to a regular oolong tea?

Oh I adore tea time. Just the thought of it brings a sense of peace and relaxation. Even though I drink iced tea in the summer, I will have a cup warm in the afternoon in spite of the heat. Thanks for the inspiration!

We're great fans of tea ourselves, and your pictures and serving dishes are so beautiful they look as if straight out of a Japanese tea serving ritual 🙂

Thanks for all the info...I just picked up some oolong tea. I enjoy tea in the afternoon, but do like a good cup of coffee in the AM!

It's a pity that we don't have this brand in Toronto. I go through stages where I drink either coffee or tea. (Even in the summer ... I just let it cool off in a pitcher after the bag's been removed). Very nice review!
