Tasting Notes
Chinese Green Tea is considered to be the standard Green Tea enjoyed worldwide.  It’s a gentle, full bodied, medium strength tea that is neither harsh, nor quick to go bitter. The addition of Eleuthero to this classic tea creates a powerful blend with an earthy, mellow, and smooth flavour. For a satisfying summer treat, try it on ice with a touch of honey and lemon.

Green Tea comes from the same source as White, Oolong, and Black Tea: the tea bush known to botanists as Camellia sinensis. These teas are generally distinguished by their origin and fermentation process.
This Green Tea originates in the Fujian region of China, where teas traditionally have a sweet, mellow, and smoky flavour resulting from the unique climate and mountainous growing conditions. Freshly picked tea leaves are gently rolled, briefly fermented, and roasted to seal in the flavours.
Eleuthero is one of the most honoured and ancient of all medicinal herbs with use in Traditional Chinese medicine dating back to 190 A.D. Also known as ‘Siberian Ginseng’, this powerful root has quickly gained popularity in the Western world due to its many benefits.

Directions
The art of tea has evolved to include many rites and rituals; here are just a few that can affect the taste of your tea:
• Using good water is an essential part of brewing a great cup of tea. We recommend using good quality spring, mineral, or filtered water.
• Rinse your teapot and cup with hot water immediately before brewing your tea. By keeping the water temperature high while steeping, more of the subtle aspects of your tea will be extracted from the tea leaves. Also, your tea will brew more quickly and stay hot longer.
• Water temperature is critical. For this tea, we recommend heating your water until it is vigorously boiling, then letting it cool slightly before pouring over the teabag(s).
• Use one teabag per cup of tea desired. Pour hot water over teabags, cover and steep, peeking & stirring occasionally. Optimal brewing time is between 2 and 3 minutes.
• As a tea cools, you will notice that its taste changes dramatically. Be sure to experiment and you may find more character in a specific tea than you ever imagined.

We do not use artificial flavorings, preservatives, or sweeteners of any kind.
