This famous Oolong was the gift of Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, to a pious farmer, who cared for a neglected temple. Ti Kuan Yin means Iron Goddess of Mercy.
Oolong tea is semi-oxidised, so it is half way between green tea and black.
Ti Kwan Yin is reputed to be the very finest Oolong in China.
With striking green rolled leaves, it produces a tea that is a pale yellow hue, and has a mild, biscuity taste with a fully developed sweet aroma.
To brew put one tsp of tea per person in a pot or loose into a cup and add fresh, boiled water that has been allowed to cool for a minute. The leaves can be re-used several times- perhaps as many as 6-8.
