As the story goes, the tea plant from which this Taiwanese oolong gets its name was left to a pious farmer by a Buddhist god as a way of thanks for this man’s dedicated upkeep of the village’s temple.

This velvety and creamy tea has intricate juxtapositions of roasted buckwheat and chestnut with sweet dried apricot, a winning combination straight from the gods.

Ingredients: Oolong tea.
Origin: Nantou County, Taiwan
Caffeine: LOW-MED

Iron Goddess of Mercy

This tea is not like any I have had before. But, then I realized how very special it is. As it steeps, then as I sipped it, the fragrance and taste kept changing. Each little change was delightful. It mellowed beautifully, and I love this tea. The finale was smooth and soothing.

If we're talking about authetic Iron Goddess of Mercy

you'll like "Premium Grade Anxi "Ben Shan" Oolong Tea" better.

I need Iron Goddess of Mercy (Tie Guan Yin in local language) to boost my day every day and used to get new crop every year (before covid) from both mainland china and taiwain. Started exploring US retailers and just can't seriously find similar teas.

This is a disappointment.

This.

This tea sold me on loose tea in general and on oolong in specific. Will be ordering again.

Marvelous

Smooth, nutty, with a fine astringency on the tongue.

Delicious

This is one of my favorite teas! I love oolong tea in general, but this tea is especially smooth and nutty. I love it!

Dessert in a Cup

If you're looking for a true treat, this is your perfect cup. Extra luxurious with a splash of maple syrup and heavy cream. Decadent!

Lemon Drop Black Tea

This smells so good, like aromatic lemon depth without the bitterness, and it taste a lot like it smells. I get notes of lemon peel, lemon verbena, and some woodsiness. I was glad I didn’t any tartness, sourness, or bitterness.

I was able to drink it without any sweetener at all (it’s not sweet by itself to me, but it’s complex and smooth enough to get away with no additions). I usually add sweetener to most of my teas.

I think this would be excellent hot or served as iced tea, with sugar as well. I have enjoyed it as hot tea so far. It’s also good with honey. I haven’t tried a cold brew method, but the tea is smooth to begin with, so that seems promising.

Superior Tasting Tea!

The Genmaicha tea is one of my favorites. It is smooth, great tasting, and just the right amount of caffeine for me. Thank you!

Pure Gold Jin Jun Mei

Delicious and smooth

A really delicious, smooth, black tea with low tannins and a wonderful mouthfeel. Makes at least two good steeps with little to no decline in taste, and you can get a third, slightly weaker and more tannic but still pleasant brew out if it.

High Mountain “Tu Cha” Black

One of my favorite herbal teas ever; it’s a great replacement for drinking lots of berry lemonades to help me kick my sugary drink habit! I can’t express enough how tart and delicious this is, and the lavender adds a dimension to the flavor that makes it very tasty. I got it with my tea club and am now forever hooked.

Lavender Raspberry Honeybush

My Daughters favorite

My Daughter loves this tea more than any other she's ever tried.
So much so in fact that I imported it from the US website and I live in Canada. ( I purchased the 5oz portion, it wasn'tavailableon the Canadian website) Definitely the most expensive tea I have ever purchased because of the exchange rate, shipping charges and brokerage fees.
I know I will buy it for her again because it's her favorite.
Next time though, I will try and find a way to reduce the cost.

Gingerbread Black

This tastes EXCEPTIONALLY like caramel; if you like caramel or butterscotch this is a perfect desert tea for you. It also smells absolutely lovely the entire time!
