It uses green tea’s finishing technique as well as black tea’s fermenting skill, so it is a semi-fermented tea between green tea and black tea. For the same reason, it keeps both green tea’s and black tea’s characteristics------the freshening and clearing flavor of green tea and the thick and luscious fragrance of black tea. The appearance of oolong tea also combines the features of green tea and black tea-----verdant leaves with crimson edges. The leaves are in the shape of long cables, bigger and fatter than green tea or black tea after being cooked. These leaves are strong and thick, so they can be brewed many times. Tie Guanyin is one kind of oolong tea produced in Anxi County of Fujian Province, so people often call it “Anxi Tie Guanyin”. Anxi is located in the southeast side of the hill, where over 50 kinds of tea leaves are produced, with Tie Guanyin on the top. Guanyin is also named Guanshiyin, the most popular female Buddha in China. Chinese folds think she is most charitable and most willing to help people, so they call her “the charitable Guanshiyin Buddha who helps the needy and relieves the distressed.” The word “Guanyin” means to listen to people’s miseries. The tea trees that give birth to Tie Guanyin are born delicate and weak, unable to bear difficuly situations. That’s why they are said to be “good to drink but hard to plant.” The trees germinate in late March every year and their leaves can be picked in late April. Picking time runs throughout spring, summer, autumn and winter, with spring leaves having the largest amount and autumn leaves being the most fragrant. High-quality Tie Guanyin leaves are curly, strong, and heavy, with its tip like dragonfly’s head, body like a spire, and bottom like frog’s leg. Tie Guanyin contains over 30 mineral elements, of which the contents of potassium, fluorine and especially selenium are the highest.
