527 China Pi Lo Chun Select
Grown in the mountains of Dongting just west of Shanghai, this famed tea seems to have absorbed the fragrance of the peach, plum and apricot trees surrounding the mist-covered gardens. The pale green tea - formerly called "Astounding Fragrance" has a delicate peach fragrance and unique aroma. While there are many imitations on the market, the real Pi Lo Chun is very rare and the demand far exceeds the supply. This tea is only produced in the spring and is entirely handmade with just the unopened bud and one leaf. A silvery down covers the shoots and attests to their tenderness.
Sixty to seventy thousand of these shoots are needed to produce just one pound of this beautiful tea. Enjoy at least two infusions with the same leaves.
Recommendations: Use 1.5 heaping tsp. per 6 oz. cup; heat fresh, cold water until steam rises (160° F); let steep for 2 min. Good for multiple infusions.
Ingredients: Green tea
Health Benefits: In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, practitioners have used green tea as a stimulant, diuretic, digestion aid and astringent. Studies show that green tea has the ability to regulate blood glucose, enhance mental performance, reduce inflammation, improve bone mineral density and lower risk of heart disease. It is a rich source of the polyphenol EGCG, shown to provide protection against cancer, particularly colon, lung and skin cancers.
