Staff Pick Notes
Snow is here just in time for the holidays. That means the cold is here too. So when it really starts to get frigid, I reach for Tie Guan Yin. It’s deeply roasted to help me fight the frost while shoveling myself out of the driveway. That same roast also keeps those nutty notes and orchid sweetness singing back into my mouth long after I’ve finished my cup. It has the kind of longevity that not only lasts in the mouth, but brews for many cups. There’s nothing better to curl up with a book on these chilly, winter days than Tie Guan Yin.
