In the world of tea, oolong occupies a fascinating middle ground between green and black teas, offering a range of flavor profiles and aromas. Among these, Tieh Kwan Yin, also known as the “Iron Goddess of Mercy,” stands out as a unique and revered choice.
Known for its intricate taste, aroma, and cultural significance, tea enthusiasts have long cherished this tea. TeaVoila’s Tieh Kwan Yin Oolong offers a delightful experience in biodegradable, compostable cups, adding an extra layer of convenience and environmental care to your tea ritual.
A Rich History and Cultural Significance
Tieh Kwan Yin Oolong tea originated in China’s Fujian Province, particularly in the Anxi region. This tea is named after the bodhisattva, Guanyin, a figure of mercy in Chinese Buddhism, embodying both strength and compassion.
This balance mirrors the tea’s distinctive flavor — bold yet delicate, with a complexity that unfolds with each sip. TeaVoila sources their Tieh Kwan Yin directly from farms in China, ensuring an authentic taste that brings the spirit and history of this tea right to your cup.
Distinctive Flavor and Aroma
Tieh Kwan Yin Oolong is celebrated for its smooth, floral, and slightly creamy taste profile. The tea undergoes a specific semi-oxidation process, placing it between green and black teas, but leans closer to the green tea family in its taste and lightness.
It reveals floral notes with hints of orchid, lilac, or even a slight buttery flavor, creating a layered experience. TeaVoila’s carefully sourced Tieh Kwan Yin is crafted to give you this full-bodied, floral taste amplified by the freshness preserved in their sustainable packaging.
