ti kuan yin tea

Ti kuan yin or Iron Goddess tea is the most famous Chinese oolong.  There is a legend that tells of a poor farmer who every day passed a neglected temple built to the Goddess of Mercy, Kuan Yin.  Gradually he began to clean the temple and pay homage to the iron statue of the goddess.  Impressed by his devotion, Kuan Yin appeared to the farmer in the dream and told him of a treasure that he was to share with his neighbors.  The treasure was a single tea shoot which the farmer nurtured and shared.

Ti kuan yin oolong tea has a distinctive, heavy appearance.  Light steeping produces a smooth floral tea with an underlying sweetness.

For best results, allow tea leaves to circulate freely while steeping.  You can use an infuser basket or just add the loose tea to the teapot and strain while serving.

Teas are best when used within one year of purchase.  To protect teas from the damaging effects of air and light, tea should be stored in opaque, airtight containers.  We use resealable foil bags that keep your tea fresh and delicious.
