Tie Guan Yin Amber - A Divine Revelation

Tie Guan Yin Amber is a roasted variation of the traditional Tie Guan Yin (Iron Goddess of Mercy) tea. This unique tea is characterized by its deep amber color and rich, toasty flavor profile, which results from a careful roasting process that enhances its natural sweetness and complexity. The roasting not only imparts a warm, nutty aroma but also mellows the tea's astringency, making it a delightful choice for tea enthusiasts.

Guidance of a Goddess
The legend surrounding Tie Guan Yin tells of a poor farmer who discovered a dilapidated temple dedicated to the Bodhisattva Guanyin. After restoring the temple, he was rewarded with a vision of Guanyin, who instructed him to cultivate a special tea. The farmer followed her guidance, and the resulting tea was so exceptional that it gained popularity, leading to its eventual name, Tie Guan Yin.

In the late 1800s, Tie Guan Yin began to be commercially produced and exported, gaining recognition for its unique flavor profile, which combines floral notes with a creamy texture. Over the years, various cultivation and processing techniques have emerged, leading to different grades and styles of Tie Guan Yin, each with its own distinct characteristics.

Today, Tie Guan Yin is celebrated not only for its taste but also for its cultural significance, often associated with traditional Chinese tea ceremonies and practices. It remains one of the most sought-after oolong teas worldwide, cherished by tea enthusiasts for its complexity and depth.
