According to legend, around 1720, Anxi's Songyan Village in Songyang County (also known as Songlintou Village) had an old tea farmer Wei Yin (1703-1775) who diligently planted tea and believed in Buddhism and worshipped Guanyin. Every morning and evening, he must worship a cup of tea in front of the Guanyin Buddha. For decades, like day, he never stops. One night, he is asleep. He dreams he is walking out of the house with a hoe and he comes to a stream next to the stone. Suddenly found a tea tree in the cracks, branches and leaves, aromas and tempting, different from what they have seen in the tea tree ... ... The next morning, he followed the road in the dream last night, really hit the stone pit in Guanyin Between the stone gaps, find the dream of the tea tree. After watching carefully, I saw the tea ellipse. The leaves were hypertrophic, the buds were purple, and the green was dripping: Wei Yin was very happy. I dig this tea tree back to the small iron ditch in my home and carefully cultivated it. Because this tea was obtained through Guanyin's dream, it was named "Tie Guan Yin."
