{"product_id":"tie-guan-yin-oolong","title":"Tie Guan Yin Oolong","description":"\u003cp\u003eA pronounced floral note and refreshing flavors of fresh green vegetables with a buttery note and a bit of sweetness reminiscent of red pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis is an ancient tea whose first claim to fame was that it was rumored to be loved by Emperor Qian Long (18th century). Tie Guan Yin is a famous Chinese tea and highly sought after. This inevitably means that it is produced in large quantities with great differences in quality and styles.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOur Tie Guan Yin comes from Anxi County in Fujian Province, the birthplace of this much-talked-about and popular tea. This particular Tie Guan Yin is \u0026quot;Anxi style\u0026quot; which means it is lightly oxidized and retains many of the fine floral aspects that more closely resemble a light green tea without the grassiness or harshness. This type of oolong has become known as a \u0026quot;jade\u0026quot; or \u0026quot;green\u0026quot; oolong due to the light appearance and color reflected in both the leaves of this tea and the light brew.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe tea is named after the Chinese name for the bodhisattva whose name is Avalokiteśvara, Guan Yin. Guan Yin is a Buddhist bodhisattva who is usually associated with compassion. There are a couple of origin stories for this tea. One is that a farmer passed by a dilapidated Guanyin temple and took it upon himself to clean the temple. As a reward, he received a vision in his dream of Guanyin that led him to find a tea plant growing in a cave behind the temple. The other story is about a professor who discovered a tea plant near Guanyin Mountain and presented the resulting tea to Emperor Qian Long who declared it to have the weight of iron and the appearance of Guan Yin.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe tightly rolled, light green, jade-colored leaves of this Tie Guan Yin oolong have a light green floral aroma. During brewing, the leaves unfold, producing a very light golden-clear brew with a sweet floral aroma. The taste is light, with a pronounced floral note and refreshing flavors of fresh green vegetables with a buttery tone and a slight sweetness reminiscent of red pepper. The lingering aftertaste has several floral notes. This is a light and refreshing tea with a smooth and balanced taste with no bitterness or harshness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cdiv style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cdiv style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Tea Centre of Stockholm","offers":[{"title":"50g","offer_id":40544316227636,"sku":"8817","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":40544316260404,"sku":"8811","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":40544316293172,"sku":"8812","price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":40544316325940,"sku":"8813","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/0812\/2932\/products\/tie-guan-yin-oolong-2465938.jpg?v=1765536553","url":"https:\/\/www.theteacentrestockholm.com\/products\/tie-guan-yin-oolong-en","provider":"The Tea Centre of Stockholm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
