Tieguanyin comes from the terraces around Xiping in Anxi, where the leaf is rolled tight and given a light roast to settle its perfume.
Orchid and butter lead the cup, with a soft roast behind them. It is a generous tea for the table and stands up to five infusions.
At the counter
1
Rinse the pot and cups with hot water, then pour it away.
2
Use the leaf weight on the caddy. A level teaspoon holds about 3 g of most teas.
3
Pour off every drop so the leaf does not stew. Good tea gives a second and third cup.
