      Iron Goddess of Mercy

      Origin: Fujian Province, China
      Ti Kuan Yin Cultivar

      Iron Goddess of Mercy celebrates the Chinese Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin (or Ti Kuan Yin) who, according to legend, appeared to a poor farmer in a dream. She told him about a cave behind a rundown temple where treasure awaited. In the cave the farmer found a single tea shoot which he planted in his field. He nurtured it into a large bush from which the finest tea was produced.

      Tightly rolled deep chestnut-colored leaves from Fujian Province steep to a clear amber liquor. Tender woody notes of this slow roasted Oolong intermingle with toasty, peach-pit overtones & a long, sweet ffinish. Medium Oxidation.
