Water Temperature & Rinse
Use water around 95 °C (203 °F). Begin with a quick 5–10 second rinse to awaken the tea and encourage the leaves to unfurl.
Steeping Ratios & Times
Use 5–7 grams for a 100–150 ml gaiwan or teapot. Steep the first infusion for 15–20 seconds, then extend each subsequent steep by 5–10 seconds. This tea typically yields 7–9 rounds, gradually unfolding layers of orchid fragrance and a soft, sweet finish.
Teaware Recommendation
Yixing clay teapots are an excellent choice, as their heat retention enhances the richness of oolong teas, while porcelain Gaiwans allow you to observe the leaves as they open and release their fragrance.

Anxi County in Fujian Province is the birthplace of Tie Guan Yin, one of China’s most renowned oolong teas. The area is characterized by its mist-covered hills, red clay soil, and abundant rainfall, all of which create the ideal environment for cultivating tea. Farmers here have cultivated Tie Guan Yin since the early 18th century, refining techniques of rolling, oxidation, and roasting that define its signature floral fragrance and smooth body.
The terroir of Anxi plays a central role in shaping the tea: mineral-rich soils infuse the leaves with depth, while the cool, humid climate slows leaf growth, concentrating aromatic compounds. The traditions of this region are deeply tied to tea culture, with generations of tea masters passing down knowledge of crafting Tie Guan Yin to preserve its balance of elegance and strength. Today, Anxi remains the global reference point for Iron Goddess of Mercy oolong, a benchmark of both quality and heritage.

It is valued for its elegant orchid-like fragrance, smooth body, and lingering sweetness that reflects careful hand-picking and traditional processing. Each infusion reveals subtle floral complexity and a lively freshness that distinguishes Fancy Grade from everyday Tie Guan Yin.
