Gunpowder Green Tea
Frontier Loose Leaf 1 lb
'Gunpowder' is a strong tasting green tea
made from the highest quality first-harvested
tea. The tea was named 'Gunpowder' by an
imaginative English clerk who thought the
tiny rolled green tea balls looked like
balls of gunpowder. The Chinese name is
Siaou Chu, which means 'large leaf.' It
is also called 'Pearl Tea.' Rolling the
leaf both forces out the water and brings
the flavorful juices to the surface. The
dehydrated pellet retains its shape during
firing and keeps its freshness longer than
tea not manufactured in pellet form. Once
immersed in water, the tea leaf unfurls,
revealing the entire whole leaf.

Black Needle Yunnan Green Tea
Generation Loose Leaf Green Tea
Watch out, they don't call them needles
for nothing. They are quite sharp little
swords when dry. This is not a typical Yunnan
tea, as the taste is very light and forgiving
if you happen to forget about the brewing
time. A usual steep should be 1.5 to 2.5
minutes with water about 160 deg. F. Use
two or three times, but with most green
teas, most of the flavor is extracted in
two steeps. The kids love to see the leaves
change color, and the kid in you will also
enjoy it. A very good cup of green that
is a good starter tea due to its forgiveness.
Spring picked means the freshest flavor
and aroma. It is the most desired picking
in China. Don't miss this.

Organic Baihao Maofeng Green Tea

times to extract all the nutrients, can
be used a third time if desired. The brew
is a light green with a mellow, smooth aftertaste.
Enjoy this tea with lighter meals to accentuate
its fresh taste.

Jasmine Blossom Loose Green Tea
Stash Loose Leaf 3.5 oz
The jasmine plant was brought to China before
the third century. However, it wasn’t
until sometime around the fifth century
that its intoxicatingly fragrant flowers
were first blended with tea. Today Jasmine
mainly comes from the counties surrounding
Foochow in Fukien province, a district the
Chinese poet Lu Yu included in his list
of the outstanding tea producing areas.
The delicate Jasmine flower opens only at
night and is plucked in the morning, when
the tiny petals are tightly closed. Flowers
and tea are ''mated'' in machines that control
temperature and humidity. It takes four
hours or so for the tea to absorb the fragrance
and flavor of the Jasmine blossoms, and
for the highest grades, this process may
be repeated as many as seven times. Jasmine
is, without a doubt, one of the world's
great teas. Our Jasmine Blossom blend has
downy silver tips and most of the spent
jasmine blossoms have been removed. It has
an intoxicating aroma and a balanced and
delicate flavor. This romantic tea may be
enjoyed any time of the day but is especially
pleasant in the evening.

Jasmine Pearls Green Tea
Generation Loose Leaf Green Tea Pearls
Jasmine Dragon Pearls - No tea shelf can
be complete without these wonderful tiny
tea balls. Jasmine tea is actually infused
with the intoxicating scent of Jasmine flowers.
The flowers are placed under the drying
tea leaves which absorb and preserve their
aromas. Several leaves are rolled together
to create a pearl. When brewing, the pearls
unroll from their tight spheres into full
leafs which release the scent of the tea.
Use about 5-10 pearls for each serving,
less if you are going to drop them at the
bottom of a cup and leave them in the liquor
(liquid). Teacup brewing will produce a
deeper yellow brown tea which can be strong.
Use boiling water at about 190 degrees to
extract the hearty jasmine taste. Steep
for about 3 minutes to allow the pearls
to open and release the sweetness of the
Jasmine. Use 3-4 times, if the water was
not too hot. A favorite.
