Iron Goddess of Mercy is black tea or green tea?
Tieguanyin is neither black nor green tea, it belongs to oolong tea (also known as green tea).

Tieguanyin products can be broadly categorized into three types according to the degree of fermentation and the production process, namely, clear-flavored, strong-flavored and aged. Tieguanyin is a traditional Chinese tea, belonging to green tea, and is one of the ten most famous teas in China.
Is Tieguanyin cool or hot?
Whether Tieguanyin is cool or hot mainly depends on the later fermentation and baking process. Generally fermentation is divided into full fermentation and semi-fermentation, and roasting also includes raw and ripe tea. The longer the fermentation time, the more mature the roasting, the less cool the tea. Of course, the flavor is completely different. For example, raw tea is bright in color, with a fresh fragrance and a sweet aftertaste. Ripe tea is dark brown in color, strong in the mouth and rich in aftertaste. Everyone has different preferences. In the first few years, freshly scented raw tea was very popular. In these two years, richly scented ripe teas and some handmade teas with traditional craftsmanship are very popular. The Tieguanyin teas we usually see are divided into four main categories: fragrant type, clear flavor type, carbon cultivation type, and aged type. Generally speaking, the fragrant type and aged Tieguanyin belongs to the cool tea, and the strong aroma type and carbon culture tea belongs to the hot tea.
How to brew Iron Guanyin?
First, take an appropriate amount of Iron Goddess of Mercy tea, then put it into a bowl with a lid, and then brew Iron Goddess of Mercy with boiling water. After brewing boiling water, use the lid to scrape off the tea foam. Then quickly pour the tea into the justice cup, but remember to add a strainer on the justice cup so that you can filter out the broken tea. Because the first sip of tea is mainly used to wash the tea, it is usually better to quickly brew the first sip than to drink it straight. Then use the first sip of tea in the justice cup to rinse the filter and the cup. After washing the cup, the second tea is then brewed with boiling water without the need for a lid. As a general rule, the second course of tea usually needs to steep for 15 seconds to get it out of the water and then pour the tea into a fair mug. Of course it can be adjusted slightly to suit your preference. You like light tea, you can lengthen your time, you like strong tea, you can shorten your time.
