About This Blend
Like a painter approaching his canvas, the TEALEAVES Tea Master approaches a new blend equipped with a palate of flavors and aromas. Deftly layering flavors, he creates teas with exceptional complexity and meaning, capturing the inspiration for the blend. An uncompromising craftsman, he will not accept mediocrity, choosing to destroy blends he is not happy with rather than let them pass another's lips. The Tea Master's blending philosophy is simple; allow the radiance and purity of each element to shine and intertwine in anarchic harmony. The essence of tea is slow and intentional, not seeking but open to inspiration from art and beauty in everyday life.
Although both Chinese and Japanese Green Teas offer immune boosting and health-giving properties, they are inherently different in terms of their palate and character. Chinese Green Tea has slightly twisted tea leaves, typically presenting a light, clean and refreshing palate, while Japanese Green Teas have flat folded leaves that often omit a nori-like, vegetal palate.
Green tea is what we like to call a self-drinker. It should be served plain with no additions, to preserve the palate it presents.
When over steeped, and prepared at the incorrect temperature, green tea releases tannins that cause the tea to taste bitter. To avoid this bitterness, green teas should be steeped between 30 seconds and 1 minute at a temperature of 180° F or 82° C.
All tea, whether it be White, Green, Oolong or Black, comes from the same plant, the evergreen shrub Camellia Sinensis.
