The Case of Tie Guan Yin: Where Legend Meets Ledger

Tea master in Anxi mountains

The Pact Begins With A Legend

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.

Listen to The Legend (Audio Evidence)

This narrated legend is part of the digital pact, ready for your customers to hear.
