Iron Buddha, (Tie Guan Yin)
Also known as iron goddess tea, or iron goddess of mercy tea. A tea that masterfully balances the warmth of slow-fired craftsmanship with nature's delicate floral essence. Each tightly rolled leaf unfurls to reveal the artisan's touch, where careful roasting has developed a rich, complex character that modern green oolongs simply cannot match. Each sip reveals a sophisticated harmony of flavors: delicate orchid notes dance with warm, honeyed undertones, while a smooth, creamy texture carries a gentle mineral finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate. The tea's distinctive "yun" – a sweet, lasting aftertaste – provides a meditation-like experience that has enchanted tea connoisseurs for centuries.
