Shall we find out more?
The Legend of Te Guan Yin
Oolong Te Guan Yin has quite a long name in translation: «Iron Goddess of Mercy». An interesting combination, isn’t it?
According to the legend, a poor farmer very much wanted to restore an old abandoned temple of the eastern goddess of mercy. He could not gather funds for this, so he simply came there for cleaning and regularly lit incense. One day, for all his efforts, the goddess Guan Yin appeared to him in a dream, pointing to a tree with a fairytale honey aroma. It was this tree that the farmer easily found on a cliff that very morning.
After planting a cutting of this tree, the man lovingly cared for it until the plant became a lush bush. The aromatic leaves in the hands of the master turned into an extraordinary tea that became known throughout China, and then the whole world.
But what about «iron»? Can the Goddess of Mercy be metallic? The term «iron» refers to the sound with which the heavy tea balls ringingly fall into the teapot. Poetic, isn’t it?
