Iron Goddess Oolong

Description

Tieguanyin, which translates to 'Iron Goddess of Mercy', is one of the most famous teas from China, and for good reason. Its vegetal butter notes can be enjoyed up front with a floral backend and a smooth, honeyed finish.  Think of sweet orchid-like notes that unfold with each steeping!

This tea is processed in a modern style, which means less oxidation and minimal roasting, resulting in a fresher floral flavor profile.  Unlike other teas where older tea plants are preferred, prized Tieguanyin comes from younger tea plants ranging in age from 3 to 10 years.  This tea can be steeped multiple times, and you will see full tea leaves open up by your 2nd or 3rd steep, with subtle variations in flavor throughout each steep.
