Description

• Item No. S05536-1 Ti Kuan Yin Oolong (Iron Goddess of Mercy)
• Being native to the county of An-Xi, Fujian, China, Ti (Tie) Kuan Yin Oolong (loosely translated as ‘Iron Goddess of Mercy’) is in semi-fermentation only until the edges of the leaves start to turn brown. Anxi Ti Kuan Yin closely resembles Green Oolongs. Their large leaves and full-flavored tea remain greenish brown with an amber color and chestnut aroma. This Oolong is considerably lower in acid content than other black teas. The tightly twisted leaves produce an aromatic, brownish-orange liquor that has an invigorating, full-bodied taste with a long-lingering aftertaste. According to legend, the ancient Goddess of Mercy revealed herself to a modest farmer, instructing him to cultivate a lone tea sprout which would bestow prosperity upon his village. It is reputed to be a digestive aid and people frequently choose it to serve with their meals. Its scent evokes toasted grains and dried figs. Discover the distinctive flavor of Ti Kuan Yin oolong, a tea celebrated for its smooth and intricate profile. Enjoy about 120 cups with our 8-oz bag.  Click here for the story…
