Iron Buddha (Tieguanyin)
Iron Buddha (Tieguanyin)
铁观音乌龙茶
Known throughout Asia as Tie Guan Yin, this tea is commonly translated as Iron Buddha. The name relates to the mythical origins of the Tie Guan Yin cultivar, which is said to have been discovered by a peasant farmer in China's Anxi County. He was guided in a dream by the Buddhist icon Guan Yin, the revered Bodhisattva of compassion. Our gratifying, lightly oxidised Iron Buddha yields an infusion that is gently tart, yet light and floral, bright and refreshing.

- Amazing Oolong teaMy favorite JING and oolong tea.
The flavor is there from the start and deepens with every brew. My highlights are: the buttery feel, gentle grassy taste and the absolute best is the aftertaste of peach and vanilla that lingers in your mouth.

Hi Jade,
Thank you for taking the time to share your review of our JING oolong tea. We are thrilled to hear that you have enjoyed the tea's flavor profile and that it has met your expectations.
JING Customer Service Team - Great teaAlways liked tie guan yin and this is a good one.
- Family favouriteI buy this for my husband who is picky about teas - this is by far his favourite. A wonderful tea enjoyed by all the family.
- Excellent oolongThis is a great quality tea which we have ordered a number of times
- A meditative teaI have ordered this tea a few times and enjoy it more and more each time. It has a great balance. So, the floral slightly mineral elements are balanced by a spring-like mossy freshness. It has wonderful acidity and almost no bitterness to jar the palate. I re-infused twice sometimes three times and still get pleasure from each sip. It is my perfect book tea as it is warming and refreshing and very calming.
- Iron BuddhaSearching for a replacement for my Alishan Spring tea that cannot be exported at present, this is almost identical & I am most certainly addicted. Thank you to the helpful staff who suggested this tea!!!
- DeliciousA firm favorite of mine. It is a delicious tea, full of natural, fresh flavours that is never overpowering.
Delivery was also super fast, which is always good. - good experiencePrompt next day delivery, the goods came in a convenience tidy pack, and tastes just like how it should be, very good experience.
