This rare ‘Top 10’ Chinese green tea has been produced by hand for over 100 years in small villages. The long, straight leaves resemble ‘two knives and one pole’ with two leaves embracing a tea bud in the center. Plucked from the Shi Da Cha variety tree, after withering and steaming, the leaves are carefully pressed flat to dry. Once infused with water, the leaves gracefully sway, described as a ‘phoenix dancing.’ This unique process yields a sweet, delicate mellow cup. Excellent for multiple infusions. Sold in 2oz (56g) portions pre packed into a special tin. IMPERIAL RESERVE
Sweet infusion with soft orchid undertones.
