Anxi Tie Guan Yin
安溪铁观音
Rolled green oolong leaves from Anxi, Fujian, with a floral fragrance and gentle sweetness. The leaves open during brewing, making this a useful introduction to repeated short infusions. Leave enough room in your gaiwan or teapot for them to expand.

A starting point for your next brew
Western-style starting point
3 g tea / 500 ml water · 100 °C · 60 seconds.
For 150 ml, proportional scaling gives 0.9 g: 3 × 150 ÷ 500. This preserves the listed ratio, rather than predicting the best flavor.
Gongfu starting point
3 g tea / 100 ml water · 100 °C · 20 seconds.
For 150 ml, proportional scaling gives 4.5 g: 3 × 150 ÷ 100. This preserves the listed ratio, rather than predicting the best flavor.
These starting points come from the supplier listing, not a tasting test by KongMing. Adjust one variable at a time and record what you notice.
