Product Description
Legend has it the ancient Goddess of Mercy appeared to a humble farmer guiding him to nurture and care for a single tea sprout that would bring his village prosperity. From the Fujian province, China, the dark emerald green leaves that are 50% oxidized are tightly wound and unfurl imparting a smooth body and sweet finish. Its aroma is reminiscent of toasted grain and dried figs.

 Best ever Oolong tea February 15, 2007

First tried this tea from a specialty store in Buffalo, NY where it sold for close to $60/lb. Love it, even though it was only 2 oz. Search the net for this tea and found it Amazon.
It's a light delicate flavorful tea that can be brewed 2 to 3 times by refreshing it with more hot water. It is non-acidic like some other teas. It need no addition of cream or sweetner. I'm currently drinking 5 to 6 cups per day as it is so delicious and light. It's not exactly a green tea when brewed but a light amber color, with the hint of a flora or fruity taste. The added plus at Amazon is the price and very quick shipping.
I would strongly recommend getting this tea for any tea lover and I'm sure they would be pleased if they enjoy a good quality chinese tea.
My favorite tea February 9, 2007

I got into various oolong teas from a great New York importer. They really know their teas!
But this year, the Numi Ti Kuan Yin is available at quality and price that bests the experienced importer. I dunno, maybe they got lucky at an auction or somthing. But we've been enjoying this tea!
You can spend 3 times as much and get better tea. But then it's too expensive to drink every day. Buy this!
Very good October 26, 2007

One tablespoon makes a total of 30 ounces of tea (three ten-ounce servings). Directions are printed on the package.
The tea itself is clean and fresh with nice leaves. It's a mild tea with the true oolong light aroma, color, and mild taste.
imo, a good buy.

I tried this after getting hooked on oolong from Teavana but not wanting to pay 5$ an ounce. It was a lovely, mellow oolong, not very floral but good flavor. A cross between dragonwell and gunpowder but with a distinct oolong aroma and taste. I would get it again.
Excellent oolong tea from Numi. May 6, 2008

I have been drinking Iron Goddess of Mercy for years. Perhaps I can't get over how cool a name this tea has :)! However, I only would try Rishi brand and in a bind, I ended up buying Numi, and I love it. There is a slight difference in aroma and after taste between the 2 brands, and while I really still love Rishi, I love this one almost just as much and with some raw honey, it is a delicious drink to keep you going all day !!!
