There are different grades of Iron Goddess of Mercy (Tieguanyin) tea, but this is the most unique and the best. You will want to smell this tea. Smell the steam above the cup, the lid of the clay tea pot or the smelling cup if you use one. The clear, natural gardenia or orchid like fragrance comes from the extremely complex and skillful process, by which the tea leaves are rotated, shaken and lightly fermented to bring out the natural fragrance of the tea plants. The infusion of this tea is light green. A special treat for tea lovers!
