Iron Goddess of Mercy | Oolong Tea
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!
Harvested and produced on May 1, 2025 and roasted on August 3, 2025 by our friend Mr. Lin Rui Fu in Luo Yan Village, Anxi County, Fujian Province. It’s a one bud, three leaf pick of the Tieguanyin cultivar growing at 2,600 feet.
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.
