Tie Guan Yin Tea, an oolong from Anxi in Fujian, China, is named after the Iron Goddess of Mercy from Chinese Buddhism. It became prominent in the 19th century. Bi Luo Chun Green Tea, from Jiangsu’s Dongting Mountain, dates back to the Tang Dynasty. This green tea is appreciated for its delicate flavor, enhanced by an early spring harvest.

Tie Guan Yin undergoes a semi-fermentation process including withering, rolling, oxidation, and roasting, resulting in a floral and fruity aroma. Bi Luo Chun is minimally processed; its leaves are quickly pan-fried to stop oxidation, maintaining the natural green color and light flavor.

Tie Guan Yin offers a complex flavor profile with floral notes and a creamy texture, revealing sweetness and a fresh orchid fragrance with each steeping. Bi Luo Chun Green Tea presents a subtle sweetness with floral and fruity undertones, capturing the essence of spring with its fresh and grassy aroma.

Rich in antioxidants, Tie Guan Yin aids in reducing inflammation and boosting heart health. It's also known for its weight loss benefits. Bi Luo Chun shares these antioxidant properties, particularly excelling in catechins, which are potent in preventing chronic diseases and enhancing overall health.

Tie Guan Yin is integral to Chinese tea culture, symbolizing hospitality and often used in meditation for its soothing effects. Bi Luo Chun marks the beginning of spring, celebrated during tea festivals and favored for gift-giving due to its prestigious history and refreshing qualities.
