Organic Sencha Green & White Tea with Mint & Osthmanthus 20 bags
by Long Life Teas. White tea does not refer to black tea with
milk, but rather to a specific form of tea in which the leaves
and buds are simply steamed and dried. In this sense, white tea
represents the least processed form of tea, since green, oolong
and black teas undergo withering before various degrees of
oxidation.
White tea also contains a higher proportion of
buds, which are covered with fine 'silvery' hairs that impart a
light white/grey color to the tea. White tea brews to a pale
yellow/light red color, and has a slightly sweet flavor with no
'grassy' undertones sometimes associated with green tea.
Organic Sencha & White Tea with Mint & Osthmanthus This special
tea has all the beneficial attributes of a traditional green tea
combined with the exceptionally rare white tea, which has been
minimally processed so it retains more active polyphenols. The
soothing effects of mint are enhanced bu osthmanthus (guay hua)
flowers from the cassia tree, which have been used for centuries
in China to scent tea.
Certified Organic by Quality
Assurance International. Grown and processed in accordance with
the California Organic Foods Act of 1990.
SUGGESTED
USAGE
For Herbal and black teas, bring fresh cold spring water
to a rolling boil. For green tea, heat just until steam develops
but not to a boil. Pour 1 cup water over each tea bag and allow
to steep 3 to 5 minutes. The longer it steeps the better it
tastes. Relax, enjoy the developing aroma and color, anticipate
the pleasure of a perfect cup of tea.
Customize your tea -
because herbs extract at different rates you can increase
sweetness or intensity simply by steeping longer.
Decaffeinate your green and black tea naturally! Pour hot water
over tea and allow to steep for 30 seconds. Discard this water,
add more hot water to complete the brewing process - steeping an
additional 3 -4 minutes. This will reduce the caffeine by 80%.
