I wrote a review of this before, but I accidentally deleted it while trying to edit it. Now that I've had a few better examples of Tieguanyin, I don't think this is as good as I initially thought. It's fairly mediocre, actually, with little to distinguish it from other oolongs on the lighter but not quite green end. Brewing it in my gaiwan felt mostly pointless, as it lacks the complexity of a nicer oolong. However, it's still good, and there isn't anything actually wrong with it. It's nice for when I want to sit down with a mug of oolong and not feel like I'm wasting high quality tea by not using my gaiwan. I'd rather find another, cheaper oolong to do that with, though.
