Product Overview
A special green tea that is organically grown at high altitudes in Tianmu Mountain. Being honored as the “Wonderful Mountain of South China” and “Kingdom of Trees”, Tianmu Mountain is the origin of all the mountains in West Zhejiang. It is a World Biosphere Reserve and a national scenic spot. Grown at an elevation between 800 and 900 meters above sea level, our Tian Mu Qu Hao is hand-plucked in the spring from tender tea buds.
Qu Hao is a partially curled leaf covered with white down. The tea is made from hand-picked carefully-selected one bud with two leaves, its leaves are dark, long, and curly. Tian Mu Qu Hao tends to have been rolled up into small pellet shapes. The infusion yields a yellowish-green cup that exudes a dried apricot-like aromatic, fresh, sweet and mellow grassy taste with ample vegetal aroma with hints of nuts.
This luxuriously rich green tea from high mountains steeps ethereal notes of artichokes and asparagus with hints of roasted corn. Lightly roasted for a balance of warmth, aroma and refreshing brightness, the tea is light with a nut-like aroma. This delicate, rare loose-leaf tea is rich in health-enhancing theanine and offers a clean, light liquor with the most refreshingly delicate and soothing flavor. A beautiful pale green cup with again a lot of umami, notes of sweet boiled corn, peas, sweet clean finish, very pleasing. Lightly roasted for a balance of warmth, aroma and refreshing brightness – making it a perfect green tea for the morning.
