Green Sanctuary Roast
Regular price $21.00
This roasted Green Sanctuary oolong is better known in Taiwan as Iron Goddess or Tieguanyin.
Due to its popularity, a true Iron Goddess varietal, or Tieguanyin, has become a rare find. We liken its character to a wise grandparent: pleasant, smooth, and full of class. Smell: Charcoal, leather, subtle vanilla. Taste: Nuts, spices, and toasted barley.
