The story of Tieguanyin begins with a kind-hearted farmer named Wei Yin. 300 years ago, while passing a temple dedicated to Guanyin, the Goddess of Compassion, he found it in disrepair. Moved to act, he diligently cleaned and renovated the temple as an act of devotion. In a dream, the grateful Goddess appeared to him as a reward, instructing him to seek a special treasure behind the temple. There, he discovered a unique tea bush—a gift that would become the legendary Tieguanyin, the “Iron Goddess of Mercy.”
