Premium Chinese Tea:
Unlike most Japanese steamed green tea, Chinese green teas are pan-fired (like Hoijicha) giving them a smokey and hearty taste. Many are rolled or formed into |
shapes like gunpowder balls, stars and flowers. These are premium chinese green teas from well cultivated estates.
IMPORTANT: Some of our premium organic teas are now sold in quantities of 2 oz. to make them more affordable. 2 oz. (60g) of loose tea makes approximately 15 cups; 3.5 oz. (100g) makes 25 cups. However, premium tea can be infused 2-3 times, so each 2 oz. (60g) portion actually makes 30-45 cups and each 3.5 oz. (100g) portion actually makes 50-75 cups.
