Green Needles (steamed), Organic Fair Trade Green Tea
Green Needles, known as, ‘Lu Zhen”, is the most famous green tea from the Xuan En Yulu Organic Fair Trade Tea Association in Hubei, China. This grade of Organic Green Needles was made in late March of 2009 during the Ming Qian harvest season. Green Needles is noted for its brisk, energizing character and artisanal hand-shaped appearance. Composed of one leaf and a bud, this tea has a superb balance of freshness, bitter-sweetness and a subtle, yet complex nutty aroma. It is very invigorating and reminds one of how exquisite fresh spring tea can be.
Use a porcelain guywan, glass teapot or a Ho-hin. Infuse 1 tablespoon per 5–6 ounces of water. Use 180˚F water. Infuse the first and second infusion for 3–4 minutes and all subsequent infusions for 5 minutes. We also suggest to try this tea brewed a bit stronger, using 2 tablespoons and shorter infusion times. / Ingredients: Organic Fair Trade Certified™ green tea. / Origin: Hubei, China.
