THE HUE

THE HUE: Tie Guan Yin | Origins Tea

Tie Guan Yin is a deep yellow hue that is calming and muted; not as vibrant as some of the spring colors but as warm as summer. This comes as no surprise as this particular tea was hand-picked in Summer 2016!

 

THE SCENT

THE SCENT:  Tie Guan Yin | Origins Tea

As soon as I poured hot water over Tie Guan Yin by Origins Tea a fruity floral aroma burst forth. I leaned in closer to get a deep whiff and was greeted by not fruit nor flower but a nutty aroma.

THE SIP

THE SIP:  Tie Guan Yin | Origins Tea

Without 2 teaspoons of honey, Tie Guan Yin by Origins Tea is (roasted) nutty, floral and fruity. All of the notes make up a very unique, delicate and intricate tea taste. I also enjoyed the creamy mouth feel that each sip lent.

With 2 teaspoons of honey, Tie Guan Yin by Origins Tea took on a totally different dynamic. The nutty aromas become undetectable and the creaminess becomes an astringent taste and tacky feel on the tongue. With honey, Tie Guan Yin is a perfectly blended concoction of flowers and fruit.
