Blenders Notes Blue Beauty:

Ti Kuan Yin is an oolong tea originating from the Fujian province of China. The finer varieties are among some of the most expensive in the world, and with not one but two legends explaining its creation, it’s easy to see why.

The first legend, known as the Wei legend, revolves around a poor farmer named Wei. Noticing the disrepair of a local temple dedicated to Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, and lacking the funds for repairs, he devoted himself to sweeping the temple and offering incense twice a month. As a reward for his reverence, Guanyin appeared to him in a dream, revealing the location of a treasure in a nearby cave. The treasure turned out to be a tea shoot, which Wei nurtured and shared with his neighbors, leading to the creation of the tea. To honor their benefactor, Wei and his neighbors named the tea Tieguanyin, which means “Iron Bodhisattva of Compassion.” The second legend, known as the Wang legend, revolves around a scholar rather than a farmer. According to this legend, the scholar Wang discovered the tea plant under a rock in Xiping. After cultivating the plant, he presented it to the emperor as a gift from his village. The name in this legend derives not from a Bodhisattva but from the location where it was found, under Guanyin rock. Regardless of how the tea was discovered and initially cultivated, it is clear that great care has been taken in its cultivation ever since. The preparation process involves at least a dozen steps, from plucking the leaves to withering, cooling, tossing, rolling, and more, with some varieties also undergoing additional steps such as roasting or scenting. Additionally, there are multiple varieties of the tea which can be categorized by roasting level, harvest time, and location. The result is a beautiful semi-rolled leaf, varying from pale to deep green in color and in complexity, floral notes, and final tea color based on its preparation. Paler, lighter teas undergo less oxidation, while darker, more complex teas come from leaves that have been roasted.

Our Ti Kuan Yin (Tieguanyin) originated from Anxi in the Fujian province in China and is named after the Iron Goddess of Mercy.  Ti Kuan Yin has a delicate flowery fragrance that is similar to orchids especially when harvested in the spring and the fall by nearby streams and crisp air!  The Ti Kuan Yin Oolong tea is considered a supreme premium tea selection in China and has a slightly red berry flavor and velvety mouthfeel. 

Ginseng Oolong tea is made by combining the rich, floral qualities of high- mountain oolong with the invigorating properties of powdered ginseng. The process involves rolling the oolong tea leaves with ginseng powder and sometimes licorice root, followed by a slow baking process at a low temperature for 30-40 hours. This meticulous method results in a tightly knit, high-quality product with a compact, semi-spherical shape and large, well-formed granules. The tea is celebrated for its rich flavor and long-lasting aroma, with a strong, satisfying taste that lingers on the palate. The color of the brewed tea is a beautiful golden-yellow, clear and bright, adding to its visual appeal.
