Iron Goddess Taiwan

The original tea trees planted in Mucha, Taiwan, were brought back from China's Anxi county around 1896. Over the years, Mucha Tie Guan Yin or Iron Goddess of Mercy is still being produced according to the traditional method, including hand-picked leaves, longer oxidation and heavier roast.
