Description

Tie Guanyin, (铁观音) or ‘Iron Goddess’ in English, is an exquisite Chinese Oolong tea renowned for its rich history and soothing taste. It is named after Guanyin, an important figure in Chinese Buddhism, as a testimonial to the tea’s spiritual connection and the serenity it imparts.

Crafted with utmost care and precision, our Tie Guanyin tea leaves are handpicked from the renowned Tie Guanyin cultivar, celebrated for its exceptional taste and aroma. Expertly processed using traditional methods, these leaves undergo a delicate light oxidation, resulting in a captivating oolong tea that bridges the flavors of green and black teas. The leaves are rolled into jade-coloured pearls, which gives Tie Guanyin its uniquely pleasing appearance, and make it a very unique Oolong tea.

Tasting notes

Refreshing, natural, and floral, with a subtle roasted undertone and a lingering, smooth finish.

Brewing

Tie Guanyin tea is best brewed using Gongfu-style tea preparation, which involves using a small teapot and multiple short infusions to bring out the tea’s full flavor and aroma. A regular teapot can also be used, with a steeping time of 2 minutes. We recommend a brewing temperature of 90°C
