An Xi Iron Goddess
Iron Goddess or Tie Guan Yin ( 鐵觀音) is a
legendary oolong tea. This Iron Goddess oolong was grown in An Xi
County which is located in Fu Jian Province and it is the birth place
of Iron Goddess. Geological studies show the area is full of
stone covered mountains and a clay covered earth. These
environmental factors lead to a wonderful ripe fruit flavor present in
this tea. The positive qualities of this tea include a rich
roasted aroma that carries some sweet nutty qualities. There is a
slight note of creaminess also present in the aroma. After
drinking, there is a sweet sensation on the back of the throat
indicating superior quality. This batch of An Xi Tie Guan Yin is
well oxidized and was given a heavy roast. The roasting adds to
the body in this tea. It accentuates many of the underlying
flavors and holds them in place so that we can enjoy them more
intensely.

Competition Winner Mu Za Iron Goddess (honorable mention) Winter 07/08
Kimchi! Inhaling the aroma in one long breath,
the scent slowly builds. It seems to start from the earth, travel into
the roots heading up into the wood transitioning into almond creamy
textures. Continuing the nose seems to travel up and out the branches
of the plant out to the tips for the brilliant fruit bouquet.
Eventually reaching a high pitched citric crescendo that pours over and
over asking the question, will this scent ever stop peeking? A little
bit of leather some tobacco and sweet floral to fruit how very so many
flavors could come to mind his point to describe this teas taste.
Because on and on it just keeps changing, almost intense hummingbird
sage. Caramelized fruit bread crusts, just the caramelized part. The
rest of this teas flavor is almost as broad as your imagination, there
are a lot of flavors present and all of them are good.
