Anxi was once a struggling tea town in southern China. According to legend, when Emperor Qianlong tasted this tea on a southern visit, he praised its orchid-like aroma and spring-like clarity and gave it the name Tie Guan Yin, the Iron Goddess of Mercy. This semi-oxidized tea balances the freshness of green tea with the roundness of black. Highly regarded by scholars and imperial circles alike, it offers more than taste. It reflects the quiet ideals of Chinese tea: stillness (静), clarity (清), elegance (雅), and harmony (和).
