• ESTABLISHED 1997 Like Tao, the art of tea is universal. We began our work with tea with the intent to be a connecting thread for tea culture.

Details: Named after the Chinese Goddess of Mercy Kuan Yin, Tieguanyin is one of the more popular rolled oolongs. Although Tieguanyin varietals are native to Anxi county in Fujian province, many other areas in China and some in Taiwan are now also cultivating this varietal. There are apparent differences between the various Tieguanyin varietals, each with its own unique characteristics.
