Looking for a good tea with strong roasty top notes, a silky texture and a clean salivating finish?  This is your tea!  I don't recommend it for beginners but I enjoy this one a lot.   Tie Luohan is one of four renowned rock teas (or Yancha 岩茶）grown in the mineral-rich soil of Wuyishan in Fujian Province.  Like a lot of teas in China there is a story behind this one.  The area in which it was discovered had caves where religious seekers used to practice internal alchemy - Kungfu warriors seeking enlightenment.  In their honor this tea was named "Iron Arhat" (铁罗汉).  Or something like that... This particular batch was roasted every few months after picking in Spring 2019 so it’s now a quadruple roasted Tie Luohan!  As it sits, it’s roasty and mineral (ly).  Lighter than the Da hong pao, but very smooth and soupy.  This is a good texture tea and stimulating to the glands.
