In its Chinese tradition, this oolong tea was lightly oxidized and barely roasted. Later, Taiwanese cultivators discovered that a slow, repeated roast combined with hand kneading brought out a better bouquet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSubtle is not the word here. The roast notes are heavy, like an old man smoking cigars on side street hickory benches. It is the peat whiskey of teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more about \u003ca class=\"uu\" href=\"https:\/\/tecompanytea.mom\/blogs\/tea-atelier\/what-is-tie-guan-yin\"\u003eTie Guan Yin\u003c\/a\u003e or check out our \u003ca class=\"uu\" href=\"https:\/\/tecompanytea.mom\/pages\/tea-brew-guides\"\u003eTea Brewing Guides\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Té Company","offers":[{"title":"2 oz","offer_id":34364622865,"sku":"100502","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":34356370193,"sku":"100504","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz","offer_id":34356370257,"sku":"100508","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0223\/8891\/products\/iron-goddess-oolong-leaf.jpg?v=1718855906"},{"product_id":"iron-goddess-archetype","title":"Iron Goddess Archetype","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTieguanyin\u003c\/strong\u003e cultivar was introduced to Taiwan from Fujian during the era of Japanese occupation. Tea makers who migrated to the island believed the terroir between the two towns, Anxi and Muzha, to be similar, allowing for the production of a delicious crop in Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of replicating a lightly oxidized oolong with delicate floral and grass notes they knew from home, a few tea makers began experimenting with higher oxidation and repeated roasting to transform the flavor. The result is a seductively tangy and delicious roasted oolong that's full of caramelized fruit. Over a few decades, the roasted Tieguanyin became the archetypal Iron Goddess oolong of Taiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis version is from one of our favorite Iron Goddess producers. They sell strictly based on connection, with no storefront, and are almost impossible to locate even if you're standing just a few blocks away. There are only a handful of families left in Muzha making the original Iron Goddess, and undoubtedly, they all know one another and share the same last name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe suggest brewing this classic version in a clay pot with boiling water to deepen the aroma. The taste is present in all its characters: toasty, fruity, tangy, and unmistakably sassy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more about \u003ca class=\"uu\" href=\"https:\/\/tecompanytea.mom\/blogs\/tea-atelier\/what-is-tie-guan-yin\"\u003eTie Guan Yin\u003c\/a\u003e or check out our \u003ca class=\"uu\" href=\"https:\/\/tecompanytea.mom\/pages\/tea-brew-guides\"\u003eTea Brewing Guides\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Té Company","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":43419201732795,"sku":"102101","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 oz","offer_id":43419201765563,"sku":"102102","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":43419201798331,"sku":"102104","price":104.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz","offer_id":43419201831099,"sku":"102108","price":186.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0223\/8891\/products\/I_G_13_BrewedLeaf.jpg?v=1663711191"}],"url":"https:\/\/tecompanytea.mom\/collections\/iron-goddess.oembed","provider":"Té Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
