Tie Guan Yin, often called "Iron Goddess of Mercy," is a premium variety of oolong tea originating from Anxi in China’s Fujian province. Named after the Buddhist deity Guanyin, this tea carries a rich cultural history and is cherished for its floral aroma, smooth texture, and complex flavor profile.

Tie Guan Yin tea is semi-oxidized, making it a unique blend of green and black tea qualities. Its leaves are tightly rolled into small, bead-like shapes, which unfurl gracefully during brewing to release a golden-yellow infusion. The taste is often described as floral and creamy, with a hint of sweetness and a lingering finish.

In addition to its taste, Tie Guan Yin is known for its health benefits. Packed with antioxidants, it supports metabolism, aids digestion, and promotes relaxation. With moderate caffeine content, it provides a gentle energy boost without the jitters. From its storied origins to its healthful properties, Tie Guan Yin offers a tea experience that is both soothing and invigorating.
