Jin Guan Yin or Golden Guan Yin is produced by grafting tie kuan yin and huang jin gu oolong bushes, offering the best of both worlds and a well-balanced oolong. Here the cup is quite layered with the floral notes of wild orchid, osmanthus blossoms, and a hint of mineral with a buttery yellow liquor.
About the leaves:
Grown at 800-1200 meters above sea level, our Jin Guan Yin is hand-plucked in May from 12-year-old trees. The 7-8 cm long leaves have a one bud and 2-3 leaf composition. They are then roasted at around 65-80 degrees celsius.

Hello Debbi! Teas have many levels of flavor, and the more delicate notes tend to dissipate over time. The tea is still quite good, but some of the depth is lost.
