China Tie Guan Yin Iron Buddha is a premium loose leaf oolong tea with the powerful fragrance, balanced aroma and refined character expected of a high-end Tie Guan Yin. Also known as Iron Buddha, this celebrated Chinese oolong offers a beautifully poised cup with freshness, body and elegance in perfect balance. It is an excellent choice for those who enjoy tea with complexity and depth, while still keeping a clean and polished finish.
Oolong tea is semi fermented, which gives it its distinctive personality between green tea and black tea. In the cup, this means more body and roundness than a green tea, but a lighter, more graceful feel than a black tea. The lightly bruised edges of the leaf, visible especially after infusion, are part of the traditional process that begins oxidation and helps create the tea’s layered aroma and smooth, expressive flavour.
There are several grades of Tie Guan Yin, and Iron Buddha is regarded as an absolute premium grade. This tea offers the quality and fragrance associated with fine Chinese oolong, while also representing excellent value for money. The ingredients in this tea are pure oolong tea, with nothing added, allowing the natural character of the leaf to shine through. For anyone looking for Tie Guan Yin tea, Iron Buddha oolong, Chinese oolong tea or a premium loose leaf tea with fragrance, balance and depth, this is a rewarding and distinctive cup.
