Ingredients: Iron Goddess (Ti Kuan Yin) Tea Leaves 

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.

Features:

  • Lower Caffeine Content: Ti Kuan Yin often has a lower caffeine content. This can make it a suitable choice for individuals who are sensitive to caffeine or who prefer a milder pick-me-up.
  • Nutritional Benefits: Rich in antioxidants, this tea may promote overall wellness, support digestion, and aid in maintaining a healthy weight. 
  • Distinctive Flavor Profile: Ti Kuan Yin stands out for its floral, sweet, and creamy notes with a lingering smoothness, making it an approachable choice even for those new to oolong teas.
  • Cultural Significance: This tea is steeped in folklore, with one legend attributing its origin to a farmer inspired by a dream of Guanyin, symbolizing harmony between spiritual devotion and earthly rewards.
  • Versatility: Cultural Significance: Ti Kuan Yin can be enjoyed hot or cold, adapting beautifully to various brewing methods, including the traditional Gongfu style, which allows its intricate flavors to shine.
  • Kosher and Non-GMO
