There are many ways to prepare Tie Guan In, the soaking time is hard to control. When there is no warm soaking, the first , second, and third round can have the following combinations: 20sec-15sec- 15sec, 15sec- 10sec- 10sec, 10sec- 5sec- 5sec, 5sec- 3sec- 3sec, and fast soaking fast drinking. Usually, more fermented, more baked, the leaves are more chopped, the worse the quality, thus its soaking time is shorter. When preparing Tie Guan In, the pot mouth must be big, with quick water flow and smooth. Good Tie Guan In needs boiling water to show its characteristics. Worse quality Tie Guan In, Wu Yi Yen Cha, and Shoei Shian are best suited with colder water to avoid bitterness.
Its main plantation is in Mucha, Taipei City, and Shimen Town, Taipei County. The biggest difference of Tie Guan In and other teas is that Tie Guan In leaves smoothness in the throat, and the fruity smell from baking. This tea has particular light fruit acidity, very rich in taste.
