The leaves are allowed to wither only slightly after picking, and then are rolled and dried before they can oxidize. Green tea is more delicate than black and oolong tea, and should be appreciated for its light taste and subtle aroma.
All prices are per ounce.
This tea is grown in a region of China where there is no pollution, the air is clean and the water runs pure. The tea produces a full bodied, nutty cup with a delicate aroma. The making of this tea is so labor intensive that a single villager only averages about 10 pods per day. Made from the first flush tips plucked from bushes cultivated in deep shade, harvested only once a year, these flat sharply pointed leaves produce a very green cup with a vegetal flavor. Refreshing with a hint of sweetness.
