About Tie Guan Yin

Tie Guan Yin, aka as Iron Buddha or Goddess of Mercy, is one of China’s most famous oolong teas, iconic for its rolled shape and more-ish buttery, rich flavour that comes from a green infusion full of nutty, mineral aromas. There are many legends surrounding the history of this tea, based on the Bodhisattva of compassion, enjoyed daily by millions of people. Upon infusion, the tea leaves unfurl into large leaves, which are splendid to admire.


About Oolong tea

Oolong tea, occupies a unique space between green and black tea, offering an impressive diversity of flavours that range from floral and fruity to nutty and roasted. Particularly cherished in China and Taiwan, Oolong teas are celebrated for their complexity and the nuanced flavours that emerge with each steep. Tie Guan Yin, one of the most renowned representatives of this tea category, captivates with its refined floral notes and gentle character.


Cultivation

Tie Guan Yin is cultivated in the tea-growing region of Anxi, located in the southern part of China's Fujian Province. Here, the interplay of a mild climate, high humidity, and nutrient-rich, loamy soils provides the ideal conditions for tea cultivation. The leaves are carefully hand-picked and processed using traditional methods, including withering, tossing, oxidation, rolling, and drying. This meticulous handling preserves the floral fragrance and elegant structure of the leaves, allowing the refined aromas of Tie Guan Yin to fully develop.
