Origins & Character

South Fujian, China: Crafted using centuries-old methods, this semi-fermented oolong (approx. 40%) bridges the flavour spectrum between green and black teas.

Signature Rolling: Leaves are tightly hand-rolled into dense pearl shapes to preserve essential oils and maximise flavour development during brewing.

Infusion Journey: As the pearls unfurl, they release a bouquet of intense floral aroma alongside rich, roasted notes and a smooth, lingering sweetness. The tea evolves beautifully with each steep.

Iron Goddess of Mercy is more than a tea. It is a refined encounter with traditional Chinese craftsmanship. Whether enjoyed ceremoniously or casually, this tea leaves a lasting impression with its elegance, depth, and evolving beauty.
