Deep charcoal baking, once the original style of Tie Guan Yin, has become uncommon over the past two decades, in part because traditional roasting methods often left a grassy character that could resurface months after roasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe return to this traditional profile through a scientific, modern approach. The tea is first roasted, then rested for six months, allowing the remaining enzymes to fully deactivate. Only then is a second, stronger charcoal roast applied to stabilise the leaf. This two-step process restores the integrity of the style while avoiding the harsh grassiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen brewed at high concentration and low temperature, the liquor is powerful yet composed, carrying a velvety texture and pronounced notes of roasted nuts and crispy rice, followed by a long, steady sweetness. Best enjoyed in small servings of 30–40 ml, this charcoal style Tie Guan Yin offers a compelling alternative for those who usually reach for black tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1202\" data-start=\"901\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reserve Grade Tie Guan Yin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eORIGIN:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAn Xi,\u003c\/span\u003e Fujian\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crispy Rice, Dark Chocolate, Smoky, Hazelnut, Brown Sugar\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lune Tea Global","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":53032036860211,"sku":null,"price":94.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/5918\/2131\/files\/1_abf4cbac-5a65-4de4-b34d-64a4f329b573.jpg?v=1770456754","url":"https:\/\/lunetea.shop\/products\/tie-guan-yin-browned-style","provider":"Lune Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
