Te Guan Yin: Chinese tea for mental and physical health
Only one name – the Quan Yin takes us to the Paradise gardens with flowers and shrubs. Oolong energy is refined and incredibly strong, but to feel it, you need to try Tiguanin.
In Chinese, Tie Guan Yin sounds like "the iron goddess of goodness and mercy". The name of the bodhisattva Guan Yin tea was given not by chance, because its effect is similar to the power and power of the Eastern deity, which, according to Chinese mythology, protects women, children and all pious people.
Tiguanin-tea with a beautiful history. It is believed that the goddess rewarded the hard-working tea grower Wei Yin for the fact that for 10 years he donated his best varieties of tea to her. Appearing to the old man in a dream, the bodhisattva pointed to the place where the fragrant tree grew, which later became the mother of the legendary Oolong.
The particle "te" is translated as iron, which, in fact, reflects the energy of tea. Heavy, as if forged, leaves sink to the bottom of the teapot and emit an incredibly rich aroma.
Te Guan Yin Tea: gift of the gods
Tieguanyin – kind of semi-fermented Oolong. This is the name of the leaves of black, green or red tea that has been specially processed.
Produce Te Guan Yin Oolong from the largest leaves collected from the top of the Bush. The Assembly process begins a little later than usual, and fermentation is longer, which allows you to preserve all the useful properties of the leaves: vitamins, taste enzymes, alkaloids and tannins.
The birthplace of Teguanyin is the southern Fujian County of Anxi, but currently tea is grown and harvested in other regions of China, as well as in Thailand and Taiwan.
There are several varieties of Oolong Te Guan Yin, which are determined not only by the taste, but also by the place of its production. The most interesting varieties offer growers from Xiping village, fresh flowers hotel and Ganda.
For example, in Gande, they produce Qing Xian (which means "pure"): the leaves undergo short-term fermentation, so the infusion is rich, thick and with a pleasant sourness. Xianhua produces Gao Shan ("mountain" Oolong): its taste is sweet and incredibly rich.
The classic stages of preparing Tiguanin tea include:
- collection;
- fermentation;
- heating in furnaces;
- drying;
- twisting.
The price of Tiguanin tea is also affected by the time of its harvest: the most expensive is autumn, since it makes up to 20% of the annual crop.

- Qing Xian-classic, pure fragrance, barely perceptible notes of lilac, tea leaves-light green color;
- Nong Xiang-slightly smoked, spicy aroma, tea leaves color-dark;
- Hua Xiang-a drink with the aroma of flowers, meadow notes are especially pronounced;
- Chen Xiang, or "the fragrance of antiquity" - with a rich range of colors, which intertwined shades of baked Apple, caramel, dry hay.
The Oolong variety is indicated by the name (for example, "Lord", or Te Guan Yin-the highest grade) or the category of letters (A, B, C).
