Every leaf comes with its pact. A verifiable journey from ancient terroir to your shelf, sealed in the digital ledger of 茗契.
开卷览证 (View Evidence) →The Case of Tie Guan Yin: Where Legend Meets Ledger
In the misty hills of Anxi, the story of Tie Guan Yin (Iron Goddess of Mercy) has been told for centuries. But a story alone is not a pact.
At 茗契, we transform legend into ledger. We document the unbroken chain from the humble farmer Wei Yin—who, according to lore, was gifted the first tea shoot by the goddess Guanyin—to the modern master who roasts the leaves today.
This narrated legend is part of the digital pact, ready for your customers to hear.
