A distinctive light cup that has hints of orchid-like flavor. Excellent for quiet moments.
There are several grades of Ti Kuan Yin (a.k.a. Iron Goddess of Mercy). This particular type is the premium grade-below the superior grade but has many of the characteristics of top Ti Kuan Yin Oolongs. We find this particular grade is sweet with a fragrant finish and has no bitter notes. The name Iron Goddess of Mercy came from a farmer named Mr. Wei. At the temple deidicated to Kuan Yin he was asked what is the name of his special tea. It must be called Ti Kuan Yin in honor of the iron statue to Kuan Yin he replied.
This is the type of tea that is normally served in most Chinese restaurants.

I got my teas and WOW. I am so happy! ^__^ I love how the teas came in tin cans; I thought that was pretty cute. Although it doesn't LOOK very professional, I loved the tea. I think the lack of retail labels and retail packaging makes it all the more homely, and I will definitely order more once my supply runs out. - Hau
