Story:

The story of Iron Arhat Tea comes from different legends. one about a monk named Ji Hui at Hui Yuan Temple on Wuyi Mountain. People called him the "Iron Arhat" because he looked strong like a statue.

 

Master Ji Hui was good at picking and making tea leaves. His tea smelled nice and tasted full and sweet. People around Hui Yuan Temple liked his tea.

 

One day. Master Ji Hui found a tea tree in a rocky pit. It had tall branches. soft buds. and smelled good. He picked the leaves. made rock tea at Hui Yuan Temple. and invited villagers to taste it. The villagers loved the smell and praised the tea. They asked Ji Hui about the tea's name. He said it didn't have a name yet and told them how he picked the leaves. After hearing his story. they agreed he found the tea tree and knew how to make tea. So. they named the tea "Iron Arhat."
