The quality of a Tie Guan Yin tea is said to be derived from the combination of “Heaven, Earth and Man”.

And finally Man is the tea master who processes the tea. A skilled and experienced tea master is essential to produce the best Tie Guan Yin. Shen Yun Tie Guan Yin is the result of the perfection of these three requirements. Such perfect Tie Guan Yin is extremely rare and usually reserved only for local VIPs and State guests. “Shen Yun” means “Heavenly Charm”, and if you demand the very best, this tea is for you.
