Ti Quan Yin
Also called the Iron Goddess or Tieguanyin, this tea was named after the Chinese goddess of compassion. It is the most well known, celebrated and prized among the oolongs. It requires at least eleven different and precise leaf rolling motions in its processing. The leaves are roasted and then tightly rolled into small pellets. A good choice for ceremony and quiet afternoons, this tea provides a brownish green infusion with aromatic, full bodied flavor and a lingering sweet aftertaste.

Mr Ben Shan
This tea, named after a famous varietal from Southern Fujian, was a favorite selection from the annual oolong competition in China. Its floral orchid aroma and lingering aftertaste is sure to win your approval and make this tea one of your favorite.

Oolong Tea

Oolong tea is partially fermented. Skillful timing and careful handling during the manufacture process create a wide variance of flavors, colors, and aromas. Oolongs can be infused several times, and are the teas used in the traditional Gung Fu Tea Ceremony. The higher prices reflect the care and hand manufacture of these teas, which are highly recommended for the tea connoisseur.
