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.
"Te Ji" means special grade.The quality of Te Ji
Tie Guan Yin tea is said to be derived from the
combination of "Heaven, Earth and Man". Heaven
refers to the weather, as high grade Tie Guan Yin
can only be cultivated when the weather is ideal.
Earth is the soil and elevation, where elevated,
rich and unpolluted grounds are desirable. And
finally Man is the tea master who processes the
tea. A skilled and experienced tea master is
essential to produce the best Tie Guan Yin. Te Ji
Tie Guan Yin is the result of the perfection of
these three requirements. Such perfect Tie Guan
Yin is extremely rare and usually reserved only
for local VIPs and State guests.
