Iron Goddess of Mercy
This splendid name is a direct translation from
the Chinese Tieguanyin, who features in the legend of the origin of
this tea. Appropriately for a tea with a legend behind it, this is
one of China's most highly prized and its highest grades are more
expensive than any other tea. Thankfully we have some excellent
grades that don't break the bank. Iron Goddess
comes from Anxi in Fujien and is a lightly oxidised handmade wulong.
The curled leaves create a light yellow coloured beverage that lasts
well for several infusions. Displaying a superb balance of light and
dark, its abundance of sweet orchid aromatics and rich buttery
flavours produce a deliciously smooth and full-bodied taste.

spicy flavour, Tranquil Black Dragon has proved popular as an early
morning or mid-day beverage.

Narcissus
We like to ensure our teas' names are memorable
and as close as possible to the original Chinese translation, but
this one gave us a problem. Narcissus and Water Spirit are equally
valid - we just happen to like Narcissus. From
northern Fujien, this is a well oxidised darker style wulong with
quite a large leaf. This smooth tea has all the classic wulong
qualities, with a bright amber colour and light initial taste
developing into wonderful complexity.

Anxi Hairy Crab
From Anxi, Hairy Crab is one of the
representative wulong teas. The leaves are covered with fine white
down, which explains part of its name. The
fragrance of the leaves is hard to put your finger on, but it's
slightly reminiscent of a fusion of jasmine and orchids. The
infusion is a golden yellow colour, very fragrant and smooth with a
lingering aftertaste. This is a tea you can enjoy all day, every
day.

Golden Sweet-scented Osmanthus Wulong
Pure golden sweet-scented osmanthus flowers from
Guilin are used to scent wulong tea from Anxi in Fujien to produce a
delightfully fragrant brew. The osmanthus flowers come from
evergreen trees growing among high cliffs and contain more than 10
aromatic components. The mellow and refreshing flavour of the wulong
tea blends with the fragrance of the osmanthus, each bringing out
the best in the other to create a tea in a class of its own.
This medal-winning tea produces a bright golden infusion, subtly
fragrant and distinctive with a mellow flavour and a lingering
honey-sweet aftertaste.
