"Spring Water, Autumn Fragrance"
While spring oolongs are prized for their thick, mellow liquor, the Autumn Tie Guan Yin is the undisputed master of aroma. The cooler, drier air of the autumn harvest encourages the tea leaves to concentrate their essential oils, resulting in a "high fragrance" that is sharp, clear, and incredibly floral.
At Orient Cha, we honor this seasonal distinction. Our autumn batch is selected specifically for its vibrant Orchid (Lan Hua) notes, providing a sensory experience that defines the soul of Southern Fujian tea culture.
