dreaming of tea
In the 1700s, a farmer named Wei Yin honored Guan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) by placing a cup of tea in front of her statue every morning and evening. One night, Wei Yin had a vision.
Guan Yin led him to a stream where there was a tea tree with an intoxicating fragrance of orchids. The next day, Wei Yin went to that stream, found this new tea cultivar and planted it in an iron pot.
Iron Visions oolong is refreshingly sweet with a velvety texture, commonly known as the ‘taste of innocence.’ Combined with the floral, ‘sacred fragrance,’ this tea creates the ‘charm of Guan Yin’ in your cup.

Water matters!
Water matters!
Quality water is just as important as quality tea when it comes to your brew. Here's what we recommend:
- Filtered Water - standard home filtration systems, Brita, Hydros, you name it. Filter that isht!
- Spring Water - have access to bottled spring water, or have an actual clear spring by where you live? Try brewing with spring water and unlock unique sweetness in your cup!
- Reverse Osmosis - RO filtration systems are standard for tea and coffee shops, and provide the most consistently great water for brewing any of your favorite drinks. For your home, counter-top as well as below-the-counter systems are great to help step up your water game!
- Customized Recipes - are you a budding scientist? Check out custom water recipe kits like Lotus and Third Wave Water
