About This Item
Green tea is the world's most consumed type of tea. Unlike other tea types, freshly picked leaves are quickly heated after harvesting to prevent the tea from oxidizing. Two methods are used to heat the leaves - pan fired for an earthy, more roasted taste, or steamed at high temperatures for a lighter, more delicate taste. This process stops the enzymatic activity in the leaf which allows them to retain their distinctive taste, flavor, aroma and appearance. Green tea is mostly produced in China, where 80% of the world's Green tea is sourced. To create this well-balanced blend, we carefully select the finest steamed teas from Eastern China in provinces like Zhejiang and Anhui. Zhejiang is located on the coast of the East China Sea and is a picturesque region with a humid subtropical climate. Anhui is an inland province adjacent to Zhejiang and has a more temperate climate with abundant rainfall. Expertly blended, the result is a smooth tea with a fresh, natural taste.
