Open garden 1st pick from Huang Shan Hou Keng native varietal of Tai Ping Hou Kui. Tender and small young sprouts. This batch of leaves is elegant! Mellow, sweet, round, floral, and soothing. Not grassy, bitter or astringent. Warm, nourishing, super recharging cup of tea that you can drink all day long.
A great green tea requires hot temperature water.
Use 4 g for a normal coffee mug size cup, off boil water approximately 209 F. Best result with Kungfu style brewing with either a teapot or gaiwan.
Recommended water for all teas: very good quality filtered water, ie reverse osmosis filtered water. Spring water suppresses the fragrance quite a bit. Tap water is prohibited!
