Tie Guan Yin (鐵觀音 / 铁观音) is an oolong tea known for its mesmerising flavour and its digestive power.
In Asia, many loves Oolong as their preferred everyday slimming tea.
Amongst all oolongs, Tie Guan Yin is the most popular and is also referred to as Tieh Kwan Yin, Tie Kun Yin and Iron Goddess of Mercy.
What does Tie Guan Yin taste like?
Traditionally Tie Guan Yin goes through a higher fermentation process and is then dry-finished by roasting to give it a bolder taste with a hint of "toastiness".
The newer variation of Tie Guan Yin is lighter in fermentation (like this one) possessing a sweeter taste and an aromatic spell that is hard to resist!
2nd and 3rd infusion tastes the best in room temperature. Enjoy once it's made. Zisha teapot will enhance the taste of this tea worth a try!
What is Tie Guan Yin tea good for?
Known for its slimming property, Oolong tea makes a good after meal cuppa.
Varieties of Tie Guan Yin
Some call Tie Guan Yin "Iron Buddha" or "Monkey Picked" but these two teas are typically heavily fermented and stronger tasting oolong.

Excellent Quality
I am a return customer for this item. The tea quality is high and the customer service is excellent.
A Very Pleasant Tea
This Tie Guan Yin tea is very pleasant to drink with a nice aroma. Very prompt delivery.
Good
Prompt dispatch and delivery. TGY is always a difficult purchase as so many are described as such but are generally over baked (the sign of a poor quality tea). This TGY is of good quality with appropriate level of "baking" and is much better quality than usually available in Australia. I will purchase again.
