Ti Kuan Yin, the most popular Chinese Oolong tea worldwide, is a semi-fermented delight that sits perfectly between black and green teas in terms of color, flavor, and intensity. What sets it apart is its unique baking process and the special Camellia sinensis sub-varietal used to produce it. According to Fujian legend, this tea was discovered by divine guidance from the Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin. A dedicated tea maker found the unique tea plant after making offerings at a neglected statue of Guanyin, leading to the creation of Ti Kuan Yin, which brought him prosperity and is now enjoyed globally.

In the Buddhist tradition, Guanyin is an enlightened being who chose to stay on earth to guide others. This tea, linked to her benevolence, is sometimes called "slimming" oolong in China, as it’s believed to help foster a feeling of satisfaction without overeating. Whether or not you believe in its slimming properties, Ti Kuan Yin is undeniably a rich, full-bodied tea with deep, almost winy notes that make it a perfect companion to meals, especially spicy ones. Pour a cup, savor its delicate yet profound flavors, and give thanks to the Goddess of Mercy.
