This is a lightly oxidized oolong with notes of flowers, poached leafy greens, and a buttery finish.
While there are varying levels of oxidization available for this tea, from very green (flowery flavour) to highly oxidized (ideally charcoal fired, and much warmer in energy), this particular batch is of a modern style, and therefore more lightly oxidized.
Origin & History
Tie Guanyin (Iron Guanyin, or Buddhist Goddess of Mercy | 鐵觀音) is one of the most popular oolong teas in China. This famous style of oolong tea is originally from Anxi, in Southern Fujian Province, and is one of the most treasured teas in Guangdong (previously known as Canton).
While Anxi is known as the birthplace of Iron Goddess, we had long been unsuccessful in finding an organic garden that we would be proud to source tea from.
Since the area is quite famous, too many farms practice an intensive kind of agriculture that is not considered sustainable.
Through some good friends in Huang Shan, we learned of an organic tea garden in San Mi, around 250km inland from Anxi. The garden is located on mountainous land at 500m (~1500ft) above sea level, well away from large industrial populations. This garden farms some very tasty organic tea!

This highly oxidized, non-roasted tea features all the classic characteristics of tea from Hsinchu, Taiwan. It is bursting with notes of stone fruit and flowers.
While it can fetch extremely high prices, it is perhaps the most famous bug-bitten tea around. These juicy leaves are harvested in the heat of summer, after tiny insects (Jacobiasca formosana) have bitten many of the leaves.
Reportedly, these insect bites result in the beautifully complex flavour of this style of tea.
