Tie Guan Yin
Taste: Buttery, Floral, Earthy
Serving: Each bag makes around 50 to 60 cups of tea, depending on your taste preference.
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).

Oolong Tea
Partially oxidized between green and black tea, oolong develops unique polymerized polyphenols that have been studied for their interaction with enzymes involved in dietary fat digestion. For generations, families across East Asia have reached for oolong alongside richer meals. Modern research now offers a possible explanation for that everyday wisdom, with studies linking oolong polyphenols to post-meal fat digestion and lipid metabolism.
