Tie Guan Yin

[tee gwan yin]          Iron Goddess of Mercy Named for the Chinese Bodhisattva of Compassion, Guan Yin, this certified organic Chinese oolong has a transcendent flavor: a mouthful of dewy flowers, a heart-opening bouquet of floral forgiveness. Its aroma is often likened to the scent of mandarin orchards in full bloom. A dark green-blue leaf, pressed into a ball shape, opens slowly, giving infusion after infusion of varying flavors. A peace settles in the soul with every sip. We offer the best grade from the highest category of semi-oxidized teas in Fujian, a tea celebrated by poets, monks, and tea-lovers all over the world. Drink this tea before undertaking solitary mountain ascension, or to lift the spirit. Tie Guan Yin is sold for $12.00 per ounce.
