This delicate oolong is grown in China's high hilltops among fresh streams and cool, crisp air. Tender leaves are gently basket tossed immediately after harvesting, then semi-oxidized and carefully rolled. Each cup is light and refreshing, easing the mind of all worries. Sweet scents of orchids and honeycomb waft up from the tea as it brews. According to legend, an iron statue of a merciful Bodhisattva came alive and blessed a poor farmer with a magical tea plant. Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong is a must-try tea steeped in culture and history.
