Oolong tea from the Fujian province of China. In Mandarin, Ti Kuan Yin means “Iron Goddess of Mercy”, a name derived from local legend. This tea is arguably the finest of Chinese oolongs, with competition-grade varieties selling for thousands of dollars a pound. This loosely rolled, lightly oxidized or “green” Ti Kuan YIn yields a pale golden cup with a light body and soft orchid notes that linger and reveal a subtle complexity that will delight a fine palate. As the liquor cools, a sweet finish becomes apparent and offers faint hints of honeydew. 3g/8oz 185 degree F water for 3-5min.
