Ti Kuan Yin (鐵觀音) is a renowned Chinese oolong tea originating from Anxi County in Fujian Province. Named after the Buddhist deity Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, this tea is celebrated for its smooth and floral flavor profile. The tightly rolled, semi-oxidized leaves unfurl during brewing, releasing a complex aroma with hints of fresh flowers, honey, and a creamy or nutty finish. The labor-intensive production process, including withering, oxidation, rolling, and roasting, enhances its distinct characteristics.  Our Ti Kuan Yin offers a rich and nuanced taste, with a balance of floral sweetness and a smooth, toasty undertone. Its complex aroma and multiple infusion capability make it a favorite among tea enthusiasts.
