All sorts of fables exist for the origin of this tea and there is also the famous one of “Monkey-Picks”. We shall skip them here. If you are interested, please go to the Minnan oolong chapter for a non-fairy-laden account of how the tea has come about.

It is generally believed that the first Tieguanyin appeared in the mid-1700s near a “Guanyin (note)” Rock in Anxi County in southern Fujian (Minnan). Today, fine genuine Minnan productions can be from Xianghua, for the best regards for aroma, those from Gande (găn-dé) for complexity in taste, those from Nanyan (nán-yán) for the pride of being the original ancestry. Because of the popular name, production has spread to many other regions as far as Vietnam and Thailand, but most are only of mass-market quality, with perhaps the exception of some from Mucha in Taiwan.

Tieguanyin brewing method:
Take the right amount of tea (generally put 8 grams of tea each time) placed in the teapot, with about 90 degrees of hot water brewing. Quickly pour the tea into the dispenser or Cup and discard the tea from the cup. Since this first tea is mainly for washing and not drinking, it is better to rush it out quickly.
