Drinking Tie Guan Yin 铁观音(Oolong Tea)

Tie Guan Yin, one of the 10 prestigious Chinese tea, in my little brown purple-clay made Chinese tea pot has started to make a rich and deep leaf smell along with the steam once the hot water met the leaves. Strong as if I am traveling deep into an old and deep green mountain. I already fell in love with this tea.

What is Tie Guan Yin?

铁观音（tiě guān yīn）茶，中国传统名茶，属于青茶类，是中国十大名茶之一。原产于福建泉州市安溪县西坪镇，发现于1723—1735年。“铁观音”既是茶名，也是茶树品种名，铁观音茶介于绿茶和红茶之间，属于半发酵茶类，铁观音独具“观音韵”，清香雅韵，冲泡后有天然的兰花香，滋味纯浓,香气馥郁持久，有“七泡有余香”之誉 。除具有一般茶叶的保健功能外，还具有抗衰老、抗动脉硬化、防治糖尿病、减肥健美、防治龋齿、清热降火，敌烟醒酒等功效。
