I just had to share my favorite tea.
Our full leaf Oolong Ti-Kwan-Yin tastes just as rich as it’s history in ancient China. It’s name is Iron Goddess of Mercy in English.
The story that has been preserved for years is that of a poor tea merchant in South East China who would pass the shrine for Kwan Yin every day. He was always very respectful and would clean and repair it.
One night the goddess of mercy came in a dream and told him to go to another shrine in a cave. In the cave he would find a remarkable tea plant that he must cultivate and always share with others.
He did as he was told and propogated the new tea plant, always sure to share it with others as it had been shared with him. It became the best known Oolong in the world and the merchant prospered.
Today this world renowned tea is 40% oxidized and wound tightly for preservation. As it awakens it magically unfurls and steeps into a wonderful tea with hints of honey and peach. Each time you re-steep it the flavors and colors evolve, making it possible for you to sit in our lobby with a friend and enjoy several pots from the same leaves. That way you can share it just as the merchant did with the world.
Be Merciful!
