Tie Guan Yin is one of China’s most treasured oolong teas, originating in Anxi County, Fujian Province, during the Qing Dynasty (1723–1735). This semi-fermented tea, named after both the tea and the cultivar, is celebrated for its unique “Guanyin Rhyme” and its floral orchid-like fragrance.
Grown at altitudes of 500–800 meters in Guizhou Province, this tea is hand-picked during two main harvest seasons: mid-April to mid-May and mid-September to mid-October. Following a meticulous process of withering, shaking, fixation, rolling, and drying, the leaves take on a tightly curled appearance and a rich, glossy hue.
Tie Guan Yin produces a bright, clear liquor with a refreshing floral aroma, often compared to orchids. The flavor is smooth and full-bodied, with natural sweetness and a lingering aftertaste. Its reputation as a tea that “remains fragrant through seven infusions” highlights its exceptional quality and endurance.
Rich in tea polyphenols, catechins, and amino acids, Tie Guan Yin offers various health benefits, including promoting digestion, boosting metabolism, and providing antioxidants. Perfect for multiple brewing styles, it can be steeped in hot water for a traditional experience or infused cold for a lighter, sweeter profile.
