An organic green tea from HuangShan (Yellow Mountain Range 黃山) located in southern Anhui Province of China. Loosely translated from Chinese Wu Lu(霧綠), Emerald Cloud has the characteristic that one comes to love from a Chinese green tea-- bright freshly cut grass aroma, beautiful yet subtle nutty notes, and a smooth yet creamy finish. The delicacy of this tea is best brought to light with lower than usual water temperature (70-75°C/167°F) and shorter infusion time (45-60 seconds). Ingredients: Single origin green tea from China. Organic.

Hei-Cha has been part of Chinese tea culture for centuries. Processed through a special technique called wet piling, Hei Cha gets sweeter and more depth with age. Compared to Pu-erh, Hei-Cha has a mellower and lighter profile. Rinse first to break and wake up the tea. Steep up to 3 times. It's known to help cut the grease and pairs really well with Chinese dishes or deep-fried meals.   Even though we don’t know the exact age of this tea, we got it...
