Blue Spring Oolong

Blue Spring Oolong – The Compassionate Tea

Discover the enchanting world of Blue Spring Oolong, a tea rich in legend and compassion. In some parts of rural China, this exquisite Oolong is known as the “compassionate Oolong.” This name honors the benevolence of Guan Yin, the Bodhisattva after whom Ti Kuan Yin is named. Ultimately, Guan Yin embodies enlightenment, returning to earth to guide and uplift others.

The Legend of Guan Yin

According to an ancient tale, a forgotten village suffered through a devastating drought. The villagers could only collect moisture from nets placed on the ground to catch dew at night. In their desperation, they turned to Guan Yin, making offerings of what little they had.

One day, a stranger appeared in the village with a herd of goats. Eager to help, the villagers poured their collected water into a pitcher and handed it to the goatherd. In gratitude, the goatherd said, “You have honored my request and shown me compassion. Now, I will show you the same.” With that, the stranger revealed herself as Guan Yin, the Iron Goddess of Mercy.

As she tipped over the pitcher, water gushed from the dry ground, creating a miraculous spring. Consequently, the village was saved. To honour Guan Yin, tea growers began adding delicate blue mallow flower petals to their tea, symbolizing the crystal blue waters of that miraculous spring. Thus, this remarkable tea was born.

Jasmine Orchard Oolong

Jasmine Orchard Oolong – A Floral Delight

Prepare your taste buds for something truly special with Jasmine Orchard Oolong. This exceptional tea blends the unique characteristics of Oolong with the ethereal sweetness of jasmine petals, buds, and a medley of orchard fruits from around the world.

The Oolong Base

At the heart of this blend is Oolong tea, known for its semi-fermented nature. Unlike green tea, which is unfermented, and black tea, which is fully fermented, Oolong occupies a delightful middle ground. Think of it like a banana: green tea resembles a yellow banana, while black tea is akin to a blackened, overripe one. As a result, Oolong offers a flavour profile that is both green and floral, with delicate notes of orchid that emerge in each cup.

Infusion of Jasmine

Next, we introduce a green tea infused with jasmine petals and buds. Jasmine not only imparts a luscious floral aroma but also adds exceptional depth and character to the blend. The result is a beautifully fragrant tea that tantalizes your senses.

A Medley of Orchard Fruits

To elevate this blend, we add a vibrant assortment of dried fruits, including peach, strawberry, apple, and mango. Each fruit bursts with juicy flavor, and together they create a sensational taste experience. The combination of these fruits harmonizes perfectly with the floral notes of jasmine, enhancing the overall profile of the tea.

The Finishing Touch

Finally, we sprinkle in safflower petals, which add a soft herbaceous layer to the blend. Interestingly, safflower is one of the world’s oldest crops, often used to dye fabric. In fact, chemical analysis of textiles from the 12th dynasty of Ancient Egypt has confirmed the use of safflower dyes, highlighting its rich history.

A Memorable Cup

Put it all together, and you’re left with a cup of Jasmine Orchard Oolong that you’ll never forget! Each sip delivers a delightful combination of floral, fruity, and herbaceous notes, making it a perfect choice for any tea lover.

Experience the Magic

Indulge in Jasmine Orchard Oolong and let its captivating flavours transport you to a blooming orchard on a warm spring day. Whether enjoyed alone or shared with friends, this tea promises a delightful experience in every cup.

Ti Kuan Yin Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong

Ti Kuan Yin – Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong

Ti Kuan Yin, known as the Iron Goddess of Mercy, is a remarkable Oolong tea that boasts a unique character due to its semi-fermented process. This method gives the tea a fuller body than green tea while remaining lighter than black tea, resulting in a truly special flavor profile. When you examine the infused leaves, you’ll notice their edges are slightly bruised, revealing a brownish hue.

The Art of Production

Bruising the leaves initiates the oxidation process, which is crucial for developing Oolong’s distinctive flavour. To achieve the ideal taste, tea pickers harvest the leaves at just the right moment—not too early and not too late. After harvesting, the leaves undergo wilting in direct sunlight and are then shaken in tubular baskets. This process takes about 15-25 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity. Finally, producers fire the tea to lock in its exceptional flavour profile.

Premium Quality

Ti Kuan Yin comes in various grades, and this particular type is a premium grade—just below the superior grade but rich in characteristics typical of top Ti Kuan Yin Oolongs. Many describe it as starting with a hint of bitterness, transitioning to sweetness, and finishing with a lingering fragrance on the palate. However, we find this premium grade to be sweet with a delightful fragrant finish, completely free of any bitter notes.

A Legendary Name

A farmer named Mr. Wei gave the name Ti Kuan Yin. When asked at a temple dedicated to Kuan Yin about the name of his special tea, he decided to honour the iron statue of Kuan Yin. The name resonated well, and it has remained unchanged ever since.

Experience Ti Kuan Yin

Indulge in a cup of Ti Kuan Yin – Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong and discover the exquisite balance of flavours. Each sip invites you to explore its complex character, making it a wonderful choice for any tea lover.
