Our Deluxe Buddha King is the highest quality (Grade A) of Tie Guan Yin. Cuttings were taken from its native AnXi, Fujian, and planted in Northern Taiwan. With these cuttings also came a tradition of great tea growers and roasters. This tea is heavy & twisted like pounded iron with a mineral & orchid aroma as delicate as the Goddess Guan Yin that inspired its naming. Picked late at night to increase oxidization time, then carefully baked & rolled over 3 days. The flavor is condensed with thicker & smoother in the back of one‘s throat emanating its’ fragrance.
