Geographic Origin
Grown at 800-1,000 meters in Anxi’s mountainous gardens, this Tieguanyin benefits from nutrient-rich red and yellow soils. The high-altitude environment and natural farming techniques create a tea with a complex, rich flavor profile.
Climatic Conditions
Anxi’s subtropical climate, with mild temperatures (10-30°C), 1,800-2,000 mm annual rainfall, and 200+ days of cloud cover, supports slow leaf growth, enhancing flavor development. Eco-friendly farming preserves soil quality and eliminates synthetic chemicals.
Historical Significance
With a 300-year history, Tieguanyin is steeped in cultural heritage. Once a tribute tea for emperors, it connects modern drinkers to a time-honored tradition and the legacy of Guanyin, the bodhisattva of compassion.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Handpicked leaves undergo a meticulous 36-hour crafting process, including withering, tossing, oxidation, and roasting. Traditional techniques enhance its creamy texture and floral aroma, while natural farming ensures chemical-free authenticity.
Health Benefits
This tea is rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and theanine, promoting relaxation, mental clarity, and metabolic health. Polyphenols (30% of content) aid digestion, cholesterol regulation, and immune health.
