The Traditional Craft of Tie Luo Han Iron Monk Wu-Long Tea

No chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides are used in the production of our teas. Click here to learn more about our commitment to sustainability and fair trade practices.

Tie Luo Han Iron Monk Wu-Long Tea is carefully crafted in the rugged terrain of the Wuyi Mountains, where the rocky soil enriches the tea with a unique mineral complexity. Farmers handpick mature leaves in the spring, selecting only the finest for processing.

After harvest, the leaves are withered under natural sunlight to reduce moisture while preserving their natural aroma. The leaves are then hand-rolled and oxidized, a critical step that develops the tea’s signature depth and boldness. Finally, the tea is roasted over charcoal multiple times, a process that requires expertise to achieve the perfect balance of roasted warmth and floral brightness. This meticulous process reflects centuries of tea-making tradition, ensuring each cup of Tie Luo Han is a harmonious blend of strength and refinement.
