Ti Kuan Yin Green Tea—translated as Iron Goddess of Mercy—is a refined, loose-leaf tea originating from the Mt. Wu Yi Shan region of Fujian, China. Crafted from short, spreading tea shrubs with glossy, dark green leaves, this tea offers a fuller body and depth compared to lighter Formosa-style teas, with a smooth, balanced character rooted in centuries of tradition.

Ti Kuan Yin, also spelled Tie Guan Yin, makes a distinctive addition to your loose leaf tea collection. Choose it for a dedicated afternoon tea break or when you want to explore a different style from your everyday tea bags.
Prepare it in a teapot or spacious infuser that allows the leaves to expand. Follow the package instructions for tea quantity, water temperature, and steeping time, then strain before serving. Try your first cup plain so you can get familiar with its character before adding sweetener.
