Jin Guanyin
A high-aroma Tieguanyin x Huangdan cross — floral and creamy with fast-growing vigour.
Jin Guanyin (金觀音, "Gold Guanyin") is a Fujian cultivar created from Tieguanyin and Huangdan (Huang Jin Gui), the same parents as its better-known sister Huangguanyin. It combines Tieguanyin-like body with Huang Jin Gui's high floral aroma, on a plant with smaller, softer leaves that take twisting well.
It grows fast and abundantly, which has made it a popular choice for new tea fields, and it is made both in the lighter Anxi style and as a high-aroma Wuyi rock tea. The cup is floral and creamy with good honeyed body — a modern aroma-forward oolong in the Anxi-cross family.
