Description

Also known as Mist and Cloud tea, this green tea is harvested in an altitude smothered in clouds, which rarely sees beyond the surface mist. One can only imagine the characteristics this must play on the growers cultivating in this mystical environment. We'd like to think that this climate plays a role in the unique characteristics transferred in each steeping of our organic, fair trade yun wu. Aside from the relationship we have with sourcing this tea, we selected this green tea because of its light pleasant flavor with a slight sweetness in the finish. It steeps a light golden jade colored infusion. Green tea steeping time and temperature varies with different tea. The hottest steeping temperatures are 81 to 87 °C (178 to 189 °F) water and the longest steeping times two to three minutes. The coolest brewing temperatures are 61 to 69 °C (142 to 156 °F) and the shortest times about 30 seconds.
