Oolong Tea

Iron Goddess (Tieguanyin)

Tieguanyin is one of China’s famous teas having once been an Imperial Tribute Tea. In the past Tribute teas were only for the consumption of Chinese emperors. Since the fall of the last emperor in 1912, this tea has become available for all to enjoy!

Our Iron Goddess (Tieguanyin) comes from Anxi county in Fujian Provence, a region considered to be the birthplace of this style of oolong. Harvested in the spring, it is hand-plucked, lightly oxidised then delicately rolled into semi-ball shapes. It possesses the stone fruit aroma of a fine oolong with a sweet lingering aftertaste. The robust oversized green leaves make for multiple deep infusions with lasting flavour.

Fujian Province

Fujian Province is a famous tea growing region located along the south eastern coast of China. It provides a treasure trove of some of the world’s finest teas, such as the broad-leafed, pine smoked Lapsang Souchong, the highly regarded Wuyi cliff oolongs such as Da Hong Pao (Big Red Robe) and Ti Lo Han as well as the ball-rolled Tieguanyin (Iron Goddess). Fujian Province is also historically linked to the cultivation and manufacture of fine white tea.
