Tie Luo Han

Our pick of Mr. Yu's 2011 teas - a charcoal roasted Wuyishan oolong of the Tie Luo Han (Iron Arhat) varietal. Look out for the sweet floral aroma of dried lychee & osmanthus flowers. This tea has a great mouthfeel, with a flavor of baked almonds & tannins. Great value for the price, and consistently our best selling yancha.

A very nice Yan Cha.

Review by Moritz S
A very nice yancha. Great mix of mild fragrant aromas that are typically found in Taiwanese Oolongs and strong roasted flavors characteristic for Yan Chas from the Min Bei parts of China's Fujian province. (Posted on 2/5/13)

Good value for the price

Review by JN
I went right for the Tie Luo Han yesterday and was really surprised how good the tea was for the price you are selling it for. It's not particularly long lasting and as deep as it can get, but for this price, it may be unbeatable. (Posted on 12/26/12)

Great Rock Oolong

Review by Joao Campos
I've been drinking Yan Cha for a couple of years and was introduced to this facinating kind of tea through one of the most prestigous tea masters of Wu Yi Shan, Mr. Liu Guo Ying. I say that just to clarify that my standards were really righ up when I got to taste Tea Urchin's Tie Luo Han for the first time and, honestly, I was pleased and surprised to know that they also have some great stuff in their oolong department. Lasting for more than 10 infusions this Mr. Yu's 2011 Tie Luo Han had a very deep, complex tea soup with great aroma and a nice roasted mouth with a sweet aftertaste. I could feel the minerals of Wu Yi mountain running through my throat from the first to the last sip. Great tea, from a great master I hope to get to know in the near future. (Posted on 6/1/12)
