536 China Tongyu Mountain Green
Grown in the high-mountain air of the Tongyu mountains in the Northern Fujian by rustic woodland tea farmers, this tea embodies the ruggedness of its surroundings and the character of the people who make it. The beautiful, long leaves with silver tips are hand-picked and traditionally fired in bamboo baskets over charcoal. It exhibits a slightly fruity taste, with a light, natural sweetness. Listen carefully while it’s steeping... you might hear some of the laughter and cheerful mountain spirit imbued in this tea. Steep for 3-4 minutes at 170º to 180ºF. Experiment with even longer infusion times.
Recommendations: Use 2 heaping tsp. per 6 oz. cup; heat fresh, cold water until steaming (170 - 180°F) F); let steep for 2 min. Try a short second infusion.
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.
