Green Leaf Teahouse Darjeeling Tea 50 g

Iron Goddess (Tie Guan Yin), a premium Chinese oolong tea is named after the Goddess of Mercy, Guan Yin. This unique tea has an orchid-like aroma and delicate smooth taste.

Rich in tradition and history, Iron Goddess was originally presented as a tribute tea to the emperor. While it is known for its esoteric and sophisticated qualities, it is also easy to appreciate thanks to its strong aroma, vibrant colour, and diverse range of notes. Iron Goddess can be re-brewed multiple times, with the flavour enhancing each time. The complex flavours of this unique tea make it an excellent choice for a cold brew during the summer months.

Tie Guan Yin was first developed during the early 1700 in Anxi County in Fujian province as a cross between non-fermented green tea and fully fermented black tea, producing the best of both in a single tea. The leaves are handpicked and undergo the traditional method of production involving various steps that results in the distinctive flavour, aroma and appearance of the Oolong tea. This unique tea quickly became popular in eastern China and Taiwan. It gained popularity in Japan in 1970's and from there spread across the world.
