The aroma blends pine smoke, sweet fruit, and fresh orchid. It tastes pleasantly sweet, full-bodied, and mellow with deep woody and medicinal undertones. The tea feels thick in the mouth, creates a long-lasting sweetness in the throat, and leaves a comforting finish.

Tianjian is the highest grade of Anhua dark tea and was historically used as an imperial tribute tea for the royal family. This specific batch has been naturally aged in a dry warehouse for over a decade to develop its complex, mature flavor layers.

Easy Mug Brew

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:100. Put the leaves directly into a mug, add boiling water, and steep for 5 to 7 minutes. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with boiling water to continue brewing.

Traditional Gongfu Style

Pre-warm the gaiwan or Yixing teapot. Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:30. Brew with water at 100°C (212°F). For the first two infusions, steep for about 10 seconds each. Gradually increase the steeping time with each additional infusion. Pour the tea liquor completely out after each brew.

Thermal Steeping

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:200. Pour boiling water into a ceramic-lined insulated flask or teapot. Close the lid and let it steep for 1 to 2 hours before drinking. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with boiling water to continue brewing and enjoying.
