Rare tea

This delicate green tea from Sichuan offers a captivating, charming fragrance. On the palate, it unfolds with a gentle herbal sweetness, leading to a refreshing and clean finish. It leans herbal, sweet and floral.

Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.

Grown in Sichuan, China.
