Description
This is probably the most famous of all Chinese
Oolong teas. The name Tie Guan Yin means "Iron
Goddess of Mercy" and the tea is as
magnificent as its name implies. There are
many legends surrounding the origin of its name
and one of it tells the story of a kind-hearted
but poor farmer named Wei Yin. Despite
working hard every day to make a living, Wei Yin
would spend his free time tending an abandoned
Guan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) temple he found near
his place. One day, he fell asleep in the temple
and dreamed about the Goddess telling him to
look for a cave behind the temple. There, he
found a single tea shoot where he
took home and planted it in an iron pot. Slowly,
it grew into a tea bush with exceptional quality
tea leaves. Wei then gave cuttings to his
neighbors and friends to grow. The County soon
prospered due to the popularity of the tea. Tie
Guan Yin can now be found in the menu of most
Chinese restaurants throughout the world.
