Tie Kuan Yin sits at the lighter end of the oolong spectrum, producing a clean, approachable cup without the roasted depth of darker styles. Accessible for guests new to oolong and credible to experienced palates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTie Kuan Yin originates from Anxi County in Fujian Province, China, where it has been cultivated for centuries. The name translates as 'Iron Goddess of Mercy' – a reference that still resonates on menus for guests familiar with Chinese tea culture. The tightly rolled leaves unfurl during steeping, making it well suited to loose leaf service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteep 2.5 g per 200 ml at 95 °C for 3 to 4 minutes.
