Tieguanyin Oolong (铁观音 — Iron Goddess of Mercy)
Anxi County, Fujian Province
Fujian's most famous oolong, produced in Anxi County. The name refers to a legend of Guanyin appearing to a poor farmer in a dream pointing him to a neglected tea bush. Traditional (roasted) Tieguanyin is darker, toasty, and nutty; modern (green/jade) Tieguanyin is light green, intensely floral with orchid notes, and minimally oxidised (10–20%). The two styles are almost opposites despite using the same leaf.
