Compassion: Quan Yin Original Style Oolong

Embrace the gift of compassion with this original style Quan Yin Oolong tea—it’s the original style of this favorite, with a longer fermentation cycle so it’s darker than our Ti Quan Yin “modern” style tea that we also offer. Handcrafted in the ancient style of this beloved tea, this toasty chi-warming oolong offers notes of ripe stone fruit blossom, roasted chestnuts, and a soft, toasty sweetness that envelops you like a warm hug. Legend: This tea is the original style oolong discovered at the feet of an ancient Quan Yin statue looming in the forest bearing a compassionate gaze to a struggling farmer. The farmer made a cup from the tea leaves at her temple and discovered the most beautiful tea of all the land, a floral note held by the hands of a true Goddess. He became prosperous and restored her temple to its original glory with the profits this divine tea spilled into his life. Legend tells us that Quan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, will bring those that sip these leaves the divine gifts of prosperity, peace & compassion. May you sip the sublime. If you are a fan of our current Ti Quan yin you will appreciate the higher percentage of fermentation of this oolong tea which leans 20% closer to a black tea than a green on the oolong spectrum. Ingredients: Ti Quan Yin Oolong Tea Steeping Instructions: Steep one heaping teaspoon in 8-10oz water at 195 degrees for 3 minutes. Steep a second and third time a little hotter & a little longer to extract the most of the precious leaves.
