Iron Goddess Tea
Customers Reviews and Feedback

Just wanted to let you know I got my order yesterday. The tea was fantastic and I enjoyed several throughout the day. It got better with each infusion

I received my Iron Goddess tea and I am just blown away by this tea. This is the first oolong I have tried and it is now a favorite. The smell is just so pure and fresh, the leaves bright and colorful and the taste!

Well, you are right, it is almost intoxicating.

I use about a 4 oz ceramic cup for sipping my tea and thus far the most I have had in a session is four quality infusions, though I am positive it could have continued on another 2 or 3 for sure.

I just tend to get full after drinking that much in a row but the way I feel afterwards is just undescribable. Just as if my life force was intensified; so much stamina and energy yet I still slept peacefully at night.

Simply amazing.

As I said before I have only previously dealt with sevencups and their silver needle, which I love, and have not tried any of their other teas at this point so i have no other experience to base theory on. I do know for sure that my next order from you will be the 250 gram bulk! because this is definitely a tea I wish to have close at hand at all times.

Fabulous.

Right after pouring hot water over the leaves I found a faint trace of fried egg (from the roasting?), before the floral notes take over and lasting a while after.

And a little later I sensed a whiff of something (maybe remotely like naphtalene?) reminiscent of my grandmother's linen press (I wonder why the scents evoke memories of my grandparents? - possibly because their daily world was dominated by natural processes?).

And then the dark green foliage and the chrysanthemes take over.

The Iron Goddess tea has a fragrance that evokes my grandfather's green fields in a dewy spring morning, and the fresh clovers of my childhood's lawn.

(I rarely taste them now -  have I grown too wise or too conservative?).

It also recalls memories of an orchid (Cymbidium grandiflorium) that I have tasted in a mildly bitter-hot stew in Bhutan (which I have visited a number of times), maybe with hints of chrysanthemum and stinging nettle? (quite pungent in a soup - in earlier times part of a poor man's diet, now rather a connoisseur's choice).

Only one ting puzzle me: the colour of this tea is a clear, almost luminant, emerald green - there isn't the slightest shade of golden or even one single tiny red spot on the leaves, as shown on the photo on your website. It seems much more like a 'fragrant jade'-type of green tea; how come?

This tea I will rate 5!

Yours, cup in hand,

Got the box with Iron Goddess tea and Dragon Well yesterday.

I opened the box and found lots and lots of cute and beautiful bags made out of glowing plastic (or aluminium) :-)

Being kind of eager to make me some Iron Goddess tea, I took one bag of the highest grade, and made about 7 infusions of that bag.

What a scent!!! Ah, just marvelous. Never ever smelled something like it!

Even the first infusion is mild. Not bitter like one of my best oolong teas. Even the 7th infusion has this wonderful smell :-) Man, this is strong stuff!

Well, is should be as I used a full bag ;-) Read today that one bag is about 7grams. Huh, I used about 3 times too much tea leaves.... 

The cup was full of leaves. Not much space for the water :-))) And I used a large cup!

I tried the C grade today and that one is good, too. Used a full bag for that one too so I could compare.

Will use less leaves from now on.
