Chen Nian Tie Guan Yin (Chinese: 陈年铁观音, pinyin: chénnián tiě guānyīn) - "Aged Tie Guanyin" , also known as "Aged Iron Goddess of Mercy" , is an oolong tea from Fujian Province, China, which is renowned for its rich flavor, deep aroma, and potential health benefits. Unlike other oolongs, which are aged for a few months, Chen Nian Tie Guan Yin undergoes aging for many years, giving it a unique character and organoleptic properties.
History and production:
The history of Chen Nian Tie Guan Yin dates back to the Qing Dynasty. According to legend, a farmer discovered a hidden tea bag that had been lying around for many years. After brewing the tea, the farmer was amazed by its incredible taste and aroma. Since then, this method of aging tea has been used to create Chen Nian Tie Guan Yin.
The production of Chen Nian Tie Guan Yin is a labor-intensive process that requires years of experience and craftsmanship. First, the tea leaves are picked, withered, rolled and roasted. Then they are placed in special clay 坛子 (tan zi) and aged for several years.
Taste and aroma:
Chen Nian Tie Guan Yin has a rich, multifaceted taste that changes with each brew. It has notes of dried fruits, nuts, chocolate, honey and even flowers. The aroma of the tea is deep, warming, with hints of wood, leather and spices.
Chen Nian Tie Guan Yin, like many other teas, has many beneficial properties:
- Digestion: Tea can help improve digestion, stimulate metabolism and reduce bloating.
- Cardiovascular: Tea can help lower cholesterol levels and improve circulation.
- Immune System: Tea can help strengthen the immune system and protect the body from infections.
- Rejuvenation: Tea contains antioxidants that can help slow down the aging process and protect cells from damage.
Chen Nian Tie Guan Yin can be brewed multiple times, using the same infusion for 5-10 infusions.
Adviсe:
- For a deeper, richer flavor, use a Yixing ceramic teapot.
- Store tea in a cool, dark place in an airtight container.
- Do not steep the tea too long to avoid making it bitter.
Chen Nian Tie Guan Yin is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a delicious, aromatic and healthy tea, as well as a unique experience that will allow you to travel through the time of taste.
