Traditional-style of Anxi oolong. The roast brings a nutty, vanilla aroma. The body is soft, yet full with a toasted, creamy, floral character. Steep longer to bring out brisk citrus. A great value and a “must have” tea!

This tea was harvested and produced October 10-11, 2021 by our friend Mr. Lin Rui Fu in Anxi, Fujian. It is made from a 1 bud, 3-4 leaf pluck from the Tieguanyin cultivar growing at 2,400 feet. We’re very happy with this lot and highly recommend it.

Iron Goddess of Mercy” is the English translation for the “Tieguanyin” – the name of the cultivar that is the standard-bearer for Anxi oolong tea.
