Ānxī

Ānxī lies inland from the southern Fújiàn coast and is renowned for its tea. Among its best-known varieties is Tiěguānyīn, an oolong associated with the hills around Xīpíng. By the Jiāqìng reign of the Qīng dynasty, a distinctive way of preparing and drinking this tea had taken shape, giving local cultivation a place in the customs of the region.
