Description:
Tieluohan tea, one of the four famous types of Wuyi rock tea, is also one of the earliest famous rock tea varieties. With a history of over two hundred years since its creation during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty in China, Tieluohan originates from the cliffs above the Neigu Cave in the Huiyuan Rock of Wuyi Mountain. There are many interesting stories about its name's origin in history, but the most widely spread explanation is that the tea bushes were found in a shape resembling "Arhat," hence the name "Tieluohan" (Iron Arhat).
Tieluohan tea has a very unique flavor profile. Some tea enthusiasts describe it as having the fragrance of various herbs, some mention medicinal notes, while others describe its rich and heavy taste as having a distinctive taste of iron rust. In any case, its taste is intense and heavy, with a rich and delicate mouthfeel and a long-lasting aftertaste, making it highly sought after by enthusiasts of rock tea. Dry Tieluohan tea leaves are tightly curled, with a lustrous green-brown color. When brewed, the tea has a bright orange-yellow color, and the leaves exhibit a beautiful contrast of red and green, typical of leaves with green edges tinged with red.
