The popular name of this tea also known as Ti Kuan Yin originated in the ancient folk tale of a peasant farmer who dedicated its name to an iron statue outside of the temple where he first drank the tea.
The popular name of this tea, also known as Ti Kuan Yin, originated in an ancient folk tale of a peasant farmer who cared for a neglected iron statue of the goddess Kuan Yin outside a temple — and was rewarded with the discovery of this extraordinary tea.
Iron Goddess of Mercy is China's most celebrated oolong: tightly rolled jade leaves that unfurl into a cup of orchid fragrance, creamy body and a sweet, lingering finish that Chinese tea drinkers call the "returning flavour."
Brew one heaping teaspoon per cup with water around 90°C for 3 minutes, and re-steep several times — the second and third infusions are often the best. Drink it plain, unhurried.
