Teh Kuan Yin is a top quality tea. The relatively high price of this tea makes it more suitable for special occasions than for everyday drinking. The very dark leaves of the tea indicate that the tea has undergone a higher degree of oxidation than is usual for example for Oolongs from Taiwan, and the word “iron” in the title Tie Guan Yin is derived from nothing other than the large, metallic black leaves of these Chinese Oolongs. The tea has undergone minimal roasting in order to preserve its fundamental qualities, and produces a golden infusion with a floral honey aroma and taste. The leaves bear several infusions, ideal for Gong Fu. Share this refined tea with your closest friends, just as the farmer faithful to the Iron goddess shared his tea bush and thus brought happiness to the entire farming community.

Brewing guide
Prepare tested water for the tea infusion with which you have experience, or use ordinary tap water which has been left standing for a sufficient period, preferably overnight, ideally rid of chlorine. Rinse the teapot and cups with hot water. Use approx. 3g of tea leaves (2 teaspoons) for each 150ml of infusion or to taste. Brew the necessary quantity of tea in hot water at a temperature of 85-90°C for a period of 3-5 minutes for the first and second infusions. With further infusions progressively extend the brewing time. For a full flavour it is necessary for the leaves to unfurl entirely.
