Saturday Morning Tasting: Gold Medal Tie Guan YinJoin us for a rare vertical tasting through Wu Guang Yan's Tie Guan Yin oolongs, three styles from one award winning master farmer in Anxi, Fujian. We'll move from the bright, orchid forward Qing Xiang Xing to the deep caramel and toasted rice richness of Zhen Nong Xiang, then close with the exceptionally rare Ye Hao He 8888, a wild foraged, single harvest oolong limited to just 40 cans a year. Each cup traces a different path from the same leaf: how

blending traditional techniques with modern sensibilities

Slight sweetness

vegetal-free finish

and tea-time snacks

beans are auspiciously thrown during Setsubun to rid oneself of bad fortune and welcome its antithesis
