Orchid | Silky | Roasted Chestnut
This highly celebrated oolong takes its name from a legend born in the hills of Fujian. A humble farmer is said to have cared for a neglected temple of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy. Moved by his devotion, the goddess appeared to him in a dream and guided him to a hidden tea plant within the mountains. The leaves he cultivated from it produced a tea so fragrant and pure it became known as Tie Guan Yin — the Iron Goddess of Mercy. The tea became so prized that it lifted the entire village out of poverty.
The tightly rolled leaves open into a soft golden liquor with notes of orchid, honey, and roasted chestnut. Each steep reveals new layers of smooth, floral flavors.
Iron Goddess of Mercy contains moderate amounts of caffeine. Can be steeped for 3-4 infusions.
