Organic Iron Goddess of Mercy (Tieguanyin Oolong Tea)
Some teas comfort the body.
Others seem to quiet the mind.
Organic Tieguanyin—also known as Iron Goddess of Mercy—is one of those rare teas that does both.
Lightly oxidized and beautifully expressive, this traditional Chinese oolong unfolds with soft floral notes, the freshness of poached leafy greens, and a smooth buttery finish that lingers gently on the palate. Elegant without fragility, complex without heaviness, it offers a tea experience that feels calming, refined, and quietly unforgettable.
This batch follows a more modern style of Tieguanyin—lighter in oxidation, brighter in character, and more floral in expression than the darker charcoal-roasted versions traditionally found in Fujian.
The result is a tea that feels alive.
Fresh mountain air in liquid form.
Origin & History
Tieguanyin (鐵觀音), meaning Iron Goddess of Mercy, is one of the most celebrated oolong teas in China and has deep roots in the tea traditions of Southern Fujian Province.
Its name comes from Guanyin, the bodhisattva of compassion in Chinese Buddhism.
According to legend, a poor farmer devoted himself to caring for a neglected temple of Guanyin. Every day, he swept the floors and tended the shrine, asking for nothing in return. One night, Guanyin appeared to him in a dream and guided him to a hidden treasure—a single tea shoot.
The farmer cultivated it.
And the world came to know Tieguanyin.
Originally from Anxi in Fujian Province, Tieguanyin remains one of China’s most treasured oolong teas. Yet finding truly organic Tieguanyin has become increasingly difficult, as many farms in the region now rely on intensive agricultural methods.
This tea comes from an organic tea garden in San Mi, approximately 250 kilometers inland from Anxi, on mountainous land at around 500 meters above sea level.
Far from large industrial centers, this garden focuses on sustainable cultivation and traditional tea craftsmanship, producing tea with remarkable clarity, softness, and integrity.
How It Is Made
Tieguanyin is crafted through a meticulous partial oxidation process, placing it beautifully between green and black tea.
After harvest, the leaves are gently withered and lightly oxidized to preserve their floral brightness and fresh green character.
Unlike darker roasted oolongs, this modern-style Tieguanyin undergoes lighter oxidation, resulting in a tea that feels more vibrant, buttery, and aromatic.
The leaves are then carefully rolled, helping them slowly unfurl during steeping and release their layered flavours infusion after infusion.
This lighter approach allows the tea’s floral sweetness, creamy texture, and natural freshness to shine fully.
Nothing feels forced.
Only balanced.

Organic Wuyi Oolong Supreme
There are teas that refresh.
And then there are teas that linger.
Organic Wuyi Oolong Supreme belongs to the latter.
Deep, roasted, and quietly complex, this traditional Chinese oolong carries the unmistakable character of the Wuyi Mountains—warm mineral notes, gentle toastiness, and a smooth, evolving finish that reveals itself slowly with each sip.
This is not a tea that rushes to impress.
It unfolds.
Layer by layer, infusion by infusion.
And that is where its beauty lies.
Origin
This tea comes from the legendary Wuyi Mountains (武夷山) in Fujian Province, China, a UNESCO-protected region widely regarded as one of the most important oolong-producing areas in the world.
Known for its rocky terrain, mineral-rich soil, and mist-covered cliffs, Wuyi creates a unique growing environment that gives its teas their signature “rock rhyme” (岩韵)—a distinctive mineral depth and lingering finish found only in this region.
The leaves used in this tea are organically grown and carefully selected to reflect the character of this terroir—structured, balanced, and deeply expressive.
This is not just origin.
It is identity.
How It Is Made
Wuyi oolong is crafted through a traditional process that sits between green and black tea—partially oxidized, carefully handled, and gently roasted.
After harvesting, the leaves are withered and lightly oxidized to develop complexity while preserving freshness.
They are then skillfully roasted, a defining step that brings out the tea’s warm, toasty notes and enhances its depth and body.
This roasting is what gives Wuyi oolong its signature character—soft caramel warmth, subtle smokiness, and a smooth, rounded finish.
The leaves are left slightly twisted and whole, allowing them to slowly open during brewing and release their full flavour over multiple infusions.
This is a tea shaped by craft, not speed.

Organic Osmanthus Oolong
Some teas are comforting.
Others feel almost dreamlike.
Organic Osmanthus Oolong belongs somewhere in between.
Built on a delicate Iron Goddess of Mercy oolong and gently enhanced with fragrant osmanthus blossoms, this tea feels soft, floral, and quietly luminous. The first sip carries the fresh elegance of lightly oxidized oolong—orchid florals, buttery texture, and the brightness of spring greens—followed by the unmistakable sweetness of osmanthus flowers, often compared to apricot, honey, and warm stone fruit.
The result is a tea that feels graceful without fragility.
Floral, but grounded.
Elegant, but deeply comforting.
It is the kind of tea that slows the atmosphere around you.
Origin & History
At the heart of this tea is Tie Guanyin (鐵觀音), also known as Iron Goddess of Mercy—one of China’s most treasured oolong teas.
Originally from Anxi in Southern Fujian Province, Tieguanyin has been celebrated for generations for its floral aroma, smooth body, and remarkable balance between freshness and depth.
While Anxi is considered the birthplace of Iron Goddess oolong, finding tea grown with sustainable organic practices has become increasingly difficult in the region.
Through trusted relationships in Huang Shan, this tea was sourced from an organic garden in San Mi, roughly 250 kilometers inland from Anxi, on mountainous land at around 500 meters above sea level.
Far removed from industrial centers, the garden produces teas with exceptional softness, clarity, and natural expression.
To this already elegant oolong, fragrant osmanthus flowers are added—a blossom long cherished in Chinese tea culture for its delicate fruit-like aroma and naturally comforting sweetness.
Together, they create a tea that feels timeless.
How It Is Made
The base of this tea is a lightly oxidized modern-style Tieguanyin.
After harvest, the leaves are gently withered and lightly oxidized to preserve their bright floral character and creamy texture. This lighter oxidation style creates a tea that feels greener, fresher, and more aromatic than darker-roasted Tieguanyin.
The leaves are then carefully rolled, allowing them to slowly unfurl during steeping and release their layered flavour over multiple infusions.
Fragrant osmanthus flowers are blended with the tea to naturally enhance its floral profile without overpowering the oolong itself.
The result is balance.
The flowers lift the tea rather than cover it.
And that restraint is what makes it beautiful.
Taste Profile

Flavour
Lightly oxidized oolong with buttery texture, gentle green freshness, and delicate osmanthus sweetness.
