Description

These long spear-shaped leaves from Hangzhou Province look less like Chinese tea and more like Japanese sencha. The tea is hand-fried in large woks to impart a distinctive flavour and aroma. A clear infusion with a slightly yellow hue produces a fresh and bright aroma with hints of chestnuts, green nutty flavours and a whisper of smoke on the finish. A smooth and refined brew.

Ingredients: Green tea

Brewing Guide: 1 tsp per cup, 1-3 mins, 80 C (175F)
