Description
The Iron Goddess of Mercy Named after the Bodhisattva Guan Yin, this tea is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The leaves undergo a complex process of tossing and bruising to achieve partial oxidation, followed by tight rolling into its signature sand-green pearls. This results in a tea that captures the freshness of a green tea with the floral complexity of a black tea.
