Anxi’s most famous oolong, captured in vape form
Tieguanyin (literally “Iron Goddess of Mercy”) is one of the four great oolong teas of China. It comes from Anxi county in Fujian, is partially oxidised — usually around 30–60% — and, depending on the producer, the cup can read floral and orchid-like or warmer and more roasted. This Dash 4000 lands toward the middle of that range.
The flavour reads slightly creamy on entry, a faint orchid floral in the body, and a soft toasted note on the finish. No ice anywhere in the profile. If you’ve spent time in a Chaozhou-style gongfu tea session, the reference will be obvious.
The draw
- Inhale: light, slightly creamy opening
- Mid-pull: a quiet floral note rises — orchid territory, not perfume
- Exhale: warm, faintly toasted, clean
Sensory data
- Sweetness: low
- Cooling: none
- Tea character: medium-roasted oolong, slightly creamy

What buyers ask
Does it taste like green tea?
No. Tieguanyin is an oolong — oxidised, not raw — so the character is fuller and warmer than a green tea like Longjing.
How does this compare to the Jasmine Longjing Tea?
Different category. Longjing is a clean, slightly grassy green tea. Tieguanyin is fuller, slightly creamier, with a roasted note.
Where Tieguanyin comes from?
Tieguanyin — usually translated ‘Iron Goddess of Mercy’ — is an oolong cultivar from Anxi County in Fujian, China. It’s one of the most prized teas in the country, traditionally produced in small batches and roasted multiple times. The flavour profile sits between a green tea (vegetal, fresh) and a darker oolong (toasted, mineral), with a signature orchid-floral aromatic that only this varietal really delivers. This vape captures the lighter, less-roasted style: more floral than charcoal, more dew than smoke. The finish is the giveaway — a quiet sweetness that returns after the inhale, the same hui gan (returning sweetness) that real Tieguanyin gives in the cup.
