The name of this tea has got already its charm – it means Iron Goddess. The Tieh Kuan Yin plants have been brought almost 200 years ago from China to North Taiwan where the oldest plantations can be found even nowadays as well.
The brewing methods in Taiwan developed separately from the Chinese ones – Tieh Kuan Yin became the most unique, rare, well-defined and most roasted tea of the island, by now considered by the tea experts as the national pride of Taiwan. Our teas are coming from Sanxia region, from the farm of Mr Chou – he is currently one of the few farmers who are keeping the traditions of Tieh Kuan Yin alive.
In terms of taste, Tieh Kuan Yin is unique and unmistakable, reminding to caramel and roasted chestnut, silky but smokey. A perfect choice for a chilly afternoon, in any season.
