Product Detail
Anxi County · Fujian Province · Single-Origin Oolong
Tie Guan Yin — Iron Goddess Oolong
Sourced from Anxi County, the historic heartland of Tie Guan Yin production in Fujian Province. Leaves are hand-rolled into tight compact balls, oxidised to exactly 50%, then medium-roasted over 3–4 rounds to develop layered sweetness and complexity without darkening the leaf. The result: a golden-yellow liquor with orchid aromatics, a fruity finish, and a notably creamy mouthfeel — a profile that travels well across Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, and premium retail markets.
Why buyers choose Tie Guan Yin from Anxi
Many rolled oolongs on the market are blended across origins or lightly processed to cut cost. Anxi-origin Tie Guan Yin carries a recognised denomination — buyers in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and diaspora retail markets use "Anxi TGY" as a shorthand for a specific flavour standard: balanced sweetness, orchid fragrance, no harsh astringency. This product is sourced and processed at origin to meet that standard, with Halal certification and GB 2762 food safety compliance already in place for the two highest-demand export corridors.
Core buying points
Hand-rolled tight-ball format
Each leaf is rolled into a compact sphere during processing. Balls meter water absorption slowly — giving buyers a forgiving steep window and multiple infusions per gram of leaf, a practical advantage in food-service and hospitality settings.
50% oxidation — mid-profile balance
Sitting exactly between green and dark oolong, 50% oxidation delivers sweetness and fruit notes without the grassy sharpness of lightly oxidised teas or the heavy roast weight of dark styles. Broad palatability for retail blending or standalone SKUs.
Multi-round medium roasting
3–4 rounds of medium-heat roasting build chestnut and subtle burnt-sugar depth in layers. Avoids the single-pass over-roast flavour common in commodity-grade TGY. Adds shelf stability without hardening the leaf structure.
Golden-yellow liquor · orchid aroma · creamy finish
Consistent cup colour and aroma profile across batches — relevant when buyers are building a branded product line and need predictable sensory delivery to end customers.
Halal-certified · GB 2762 compliant
Both certifications are already issued — no waiting period for buyers entering halal retail channels (Malaysia, Indonesia, GCC) or importing into markets that require GB standard food safety documentation.

Where this product fits
Tie Guan Yin's mid-oxidation profile and recognisable denomination make it versatile across several wholesale and retail channels:
Specialty tea retail
Anxi TGY is a known SKU in Chinese tea retail across Southeast Asia. Shops in Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam already have customers asking for it by name. The 250g vacuum unit suits standard retail shelf format.
Halal food-service and hospitality
Halal certification already issued — suitable for Muslim-majority market F&B operators and hotel chains in the GCC and ASEAN that need documented compliance for their supply chain.
OEM / private-label tea brands
Buyers building own-brand oolong lines can use this as a base. Consistent origin, sensory profile, and food safety documentation reduce the compliance workload for the buyer's product team.
Blending base for flavoured tea lines
The creamy, neutral-sweet character at 50% oxidation makes it compatible with floral or fruit additions — compare the osmanthus oolong blend in our range, which uses a similar oxidation base.
Certifications and food safety
Halal certification covers the production process and is relevant for buyers supplying markets in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, and GCC countries. Certificate details are available upon request.
GB 2762 is China's national mandatory food safety standard governing maximum contaminant limits (heavy metals, mycotoxins, pollutants) in food products. Compliance documentation for this product is available upon request for import clearance purposes.
Batch-level traceability back to Anxi County origin is part of NH Tea's sourcing model. Buyers requiring additional test reports, phytosanitary certificates, or country-specific import documentation should specify requirements at inquiry stage.
Packaging
