Current Inventory -- Green Tea

Jasmine Pearl -- Rishi Organic
185º for 3 minutes
"Dragon Pearls “Long Xu” is a green tea that is harvested from northern Fujian’s “Da Hao” white tea bush varietal. Silvery tipped, spring harvested buds and tender leaf flushes are processed using technique borrowed from white tea and green tea production. The silvery buds are partially withered, lightly fired, wilted and baked to fix the quality and silvery-white appearance. Then the tea is moistened with light steaming until pliable so the pearls can be rolled into shape by hand, one at a time. 3–5 buds with an attached stem are twisted by hand and rolled into a pearl shape before they are baked to fix the smooth flavor and aroma. The process is labor intensive and each pearl is hand-rolled one at a time. Dragon Pearls yield a smooth body akin to white tea with the rich, semi-sweet flavor of roasted chestnut. Should be infused multiple times."

Pomegranate Green -- Republic of Tea
180º for 3 minutes
"
The glistening crimson seeds of the pomegranate fruit are deliciously sweet and heavy with juice. Fresh and crisp china green tea creates an ideal base for this ruby-hued blend. Antioxidants are abundant in each cup... sip the day away because your body truly is a temple."

Decaffeinated Peoples Green -- Republic of Tea
