About Iron Goddess of Mercy (Tieguanyin): An exquisite, lightly roasted organic oolong that brews an aromatic, clean, & bright cup with a full body & a light sweetness that lingers. Rarely found organic. Also known by the name Tie Guan Yin, Iron Goddess of Mercy is said to have been discovered by an elder farmer named Wei who lived in Anxi county, Fujian province. Wei was a poor, pious man who hiked the long trail to tidy up the dilapidated village temple every week. The merciful bodhisattva Guanyin visited Wei in his dream, telling him to check behind the temple for a gift in honor of his dedication. We awoke the next day & hiked to the temple, finding a tea tree growing behind. He cultivated the tea plant & found it made a most fragrant infusion. He shared the seeds with his friends & to this day, the Tieguanyin cultivar is said to have derived from this legendary lineage. Aromas: Light & aromatic. Flavors: Full-bodied & light sweetness.
