Collection: Tie Guan Yin

Tie Guan Yin, also known as Iron Goddess of Mercy, is one of the most famous and beloved types of Oolong tea in China and beyond. Originating from the Fujian province, particularly in the Anxi county, Tie Guan Yin has a storied history and a distinctive production process. Here's an introduction to Tie Guan Yin in China:

  1. Origins and History: Tie Guan Yin is named after the Chinese Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin, and its history is often intertwined with several legends attributing its discovery to divine intervention. The tea has been produced in the Anxi region of Fujian province for centuries and is an integral part of Chinese tea culture.

  2. Production Process: The production of Tie Guan Yin is a meticulous process that includes several steps: wilting, tossing, withering, fixation, rolling, and drying. One of the key steps is the partial oxidation, which is carefully controlled to achieve the desired flavor profile. This process gives Tie Guan Yin its distinct floral aroma and a complex taste.

  3. Flavor and Aroma: Tie Guan Yin is renowned for its bright, floral aroma and a complex flavor profile that can range from fresh and green in the lightly oxidized versions to a richer, more robust taste in more heavily oxidized varieties. It often has notes of orchid, cream, and a subtle sweetness with a lingering aftertaste.

  4. Types and Varieties: There are primarily two types of Tie Guan Yin - the traditional, more oxidized version, which has a darker color and a richer flavor, and the modern, greener style, which is less oxidized and has a lighter, more floral character.

  5. Health Benefits: Like other Oolong teas, Tie Guan Yin is rich in antioxidants and has been associated with several health benefits, including aiding digestion, reducing stress, and helping with weight management.

  6. Cultural Significance: In China, Tie Guan Yin is not just appreciated for its taste but also for its cultural significance. It is often used in Chinese Gongfu tea ceremonies and is a popular gift due to its prestigious reputation.

  7. Global Popularity: Tie Guan Yin has gained international acclaim and is widely enjoyed by tea enthusiasts around the world. Its versatility, ranging from light and floral to rich and full-bodied, makes it appealing to a wide range of palates.

In summary, Tie Guan Yin stands out in the world of Chinese teas for its unique production process, diverse flavor profiles, and its cultural and historical significance. It's a tea that embodies both the artistry of Chinese tea-making and the rich heritage of its origins.
