Add to my notebook

This green tea from Anhui is one of China’s ten most famous teas. Its reputation comes from a very specific plucking, where only mature leaves are taken from the trees and the buds left in place.

Heated in steel woks and flattened with bamboo brushes, the leaves take on a bluish tint that really highlights this great style.

Corn, asparagus, kale… this tea is dominated by vegetable aromas. The absence of buds in the mix gives a thick body bitter at first, but quickly overtaken by sweet notes of grains and roasted nuts.

Definitely worthy of its Grand Cru status.

After the pouring the water onto the leaves, the transparency of the glass will display the pleasant spectacle of their waltz, and the gradual darkening of the liquor. The infusion beaker is a perfect accessory for fans of tea in free infusion, which lends itself particularly well to large-leaf and herbal teas.
