Pinglin has been a place to grow unique varietals that could not be found easily in Taiwan. So far we only have one plantation at Caopingtou for Tieguanyin varietal, leaving us not much option to choose from. Fortuntaely, Peter, the farmer boss whose family had been in the deep valley of Pinglin for decades, was inspired by our vision and operations around the island, and therefore we were able to obatin this tea.

We gladly took this tea in as part of our collection this season and asked our roasting master Mr. Zhuang to give it a proper roasting. A roasting style that is more than green but less than heavy to provide a balanced flavor. Not to mention Mr. Zhuang upgraded his charcoal material to Taiwan Acacia wood this season, giving the whole tea a whole new boundary to be discovered.  
 
This tea bears lots of similarities like its Anxi counterpart. The special milky character of Tieguanyin tea was clearly realized on this tea, and the aging potential is there for one to discover. We proudly present you this "Anxi Forest," as it may remind tea lovers the joy of encountering Tieguanyin for the first time.
