We believe that everybody, whatever their budget, shouldn’t have to go short of good tea. Our “best value” range includes teas that of course taste great but are also uncomplicated to prepare and are even better value for you when bought by the kilo. The perfect oolong for the office and for making multiple infusions all day, this “best value” tea is naturally sweet and floral, and tastes equally good served chilled as well as warm.
Tie Guan Yin Oolong, also known as Tie Kuan Yin, or iron Goddess of Mercy is a must-try for people who are new to the tea category oolong.
By far the most famous Chinese oolong, Iron Goddess of Mercy is said to be divinely inspired! According to the legend, a farmer was renovating a temple to the Buddhist deity Guan Yin, when her iron statue came to life. To thank him for caring for her temple, she told him that he would find his fortune in the fields outside. There the farmer found a tea bush and he named the tea he made from its leaves after her. Since then many farmers have made their fortune with Iron Goddess of Mercy – a tea which can vary in flavour, quality and price considerably. While the fragrant and floral lightly roasted Ti Guan Yins are better known, heavier-roasted teas tend to be darker, mellower, and even a bit fruity. We always strive to get the best tea we can without breaking the bank. This organically grown Iron Goddess of Mercy is typical of a good spring harvest oolong and is, due to its naturally sweet and floral flavour, a great introduction to oolong.
