This traditional tea was developed during the
2nd World War out of necessity when there was a tea
shortage in Japan. To extend the life of their tea
supplies, the Japanese added husked rice to the tea
leaves creating a classic tea enjoyed by people all
around the world. Genmaicha is refreshing and
comforting with a toasty aroma and nutty taste.
This is a classic pan fired green
tea with a flat-leaf appearance and wonderful leafy
aroma. It is a famous tribute tea that is carefully
picked and processed completely by hand. The flavor
is smooth, refreshing and aromatic. Considered the
best by devoted green tea drinkers.
Gunpowder tea is named for its
resemblance to the powder used in cannons on the
18th century British ships. The leaves for this tea
are hand rolled into tiny pellets that will unfurl
into long green banners when steeped. Gunpowder tea
is very popular in Morocco where the brewed tea is
infused with mint and sweetened with sugar.
Jasmine green tea is extremely refreshing and great
at quenching thirst. This tea is blended with fresh
night blooming jasmine blossoms by traditional tea
scenting processes. The green tea absorbs the
natural essence from the blossoms and imparts a
sweet and soothing fragrance in every cup. Makes a
great iced tea.
Known as the "Tea of the Emperors,"
lotus tea was once so expensive that it was only
consumed by Vietnamese royalty. Today it is much
more accessible, but it is still a special treat
enjoyed
especially during the Tet holiday. The
process of making this exquisite tea is quite
laborious. It is made from green tea leaves placed
inside a lotus flower in order for it to absorb the
sweet scent of the flower. It has a strong taste
which is slightly bitter at first, but mellows in
your throat ending with a wonderful lotus flower
fragrance. Is wonderful served hot or cold.
These little pearls will brew up a delicate green
tea with a flowery Jasmine aroma. Will yield
multiple infusions. This special tea will not get
bitter so feel free to add more water and enjoy for
as long you like. Great to have after a heavy or
spicy meal to help aid in digestion. Brew this in a
clear teapot to watch the tea unfurl.
A delicious fusion of fruit & flower, apple with
jasmine scenting, brings a sweet floral bouquet, to
