Style: Green
Origin: Fujian Province, China
Description: Plucked in the second week of April, 2023, known as a gu yu harvest, this aromatic tea is grown in Fujian Province, along the border with Zhejiang Province in China. It is named for the number of steeps it can offer when prepared correctly, each one as aromatic and complex as the next. Traditionally wok-fired in the San Bei Xiang method to accentuate the tea's natural sweet, fruity notes, the long leaves vary from dark green to silvery white.
Tasting Notes: A gently toasted and wonderfully warm, floral nose. The mouth is full and buttery smooth - a mineral sweetness with gentle grassy notes that develop with each sip. Ends with a clear, fruity linger. The aroma of the empty cup is wonderful - naturally saccharine with hints of sour raspberry. This tea can become quite astringent if left unattended, so it is recommended to keep to shorter steep times to truly experience the complexity and sweetness that this green has to offer.
Brewing Instructions: 3g per cup. 85 - 95ºC water. Steep 1.5 - 2 minutes. Re-steep.
