INFORMATION:
Organic tea is produced without the input of chemical fertilizers or pesticides and herbicides.
Unfortunately the yield per acre is lower and quite often quality can suffer compared to when fertilizers and other inputs are utilized.
Nevertheless with good manufacturing techniques, the cup characteristics can be maintained at a very high level - such is the case with this tea.
This tea is a premium grade Green Tea ("Pearl River" signifies very important, master quality, cleanliness and good health).
This superior quality Pearl River Tea is exceptionally well graded with an even curly leaf.
Interestingly enough only the best leaves are able to achieve this particular curl and to sort these leaves from the rest of the leaf production the estate hand sorts the leaves.
This basically means the tea leaves are spread out on a table and hand picked - one by one..
The best tea is made during March and April when the tea bush emerges from its winter dormancy and expends all its 'spring' energy into growing new shoots.
This estate employs fine plucking techniques, which is to say that only the top two leaves and the new bud is taken.
Furthermore the plucking only takes place in the pre-dawn hours, when the leaf is covered with a misty dew, which improves the taste and imparts a fullness to the tea character.
The quality of the water and the affects on tea are legendary. Lu Yu, the father of Chinese tea (Cha' Chng or Book of Tea written in 780 AD), stated that water was of the utmost importance.
On a trip on the Yangtze River as a guest of a dignitary, Lu Yu asked to have tea made with water drawn from the center of the river which was the cleanest and tastiest.
After taking a sip Lu Yu said in disgust that the water was from the riverbank.
The man responsible denied this, upon which Lu Yu re-tasted the tea and declared that perhaps the man was correct but the water was inferior.
The man then acknowledged that after he had drawn the water from the center of the river, some had spilled on the return trip to shore and the jar was topped up with water from midstream.
Just before the dignitary had the man put to death for such great embarrassment, the man declared "Master Lu, You are clearly immortal"
Hot tea brewing method:
Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 teaspoon of tea for each cup into the teapot.
Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea).
Iced tea-brewing method: (to make 1 liter/quart):
Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher.
Pour 1 1/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea.
Steep for 5 minutes.
Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves.
Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste.
[A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water].
Tea and Health:
Here's how tea helps your health:
There are several primary polyphenols and flavonoids in tea.
These powerful antioxidants have been shown in numerous studies to fight viruses, slow aging, and have a beneficial effect on health.
Clinical tests have shown that they destroy free radicals, limiting their damage to healthy cells, and have far-reaching positive effects on the entire body.
PLEASE NOTE:
The Tea is mailed from Canada.
The USA delivery is classified as International mail so it usually costs more to mail from Canada compared to domestic rates in the USA.
ALSO NOTE THAT Delivery to the USA usually takes between 6 and 14 BUSINESS DAYS. Sometimes longer.
As with mailing teas to the USA, mailing tea across Canada is expensive for a single tea order, IE: 125 grams, 250 grams or 500 grams.
As more teas are added to your order the cost to ship increases very little.
Let me know the amount of tea you are going to buy and I will quote a shipping cost for you.
You will be surprised at how inexpensive it is to mail larger volumes of tea.
If you order a variety of teas I will combine the items to help reduce the shipping costs.
In fact, If you buy $80 worth of my tea I will ship the tea for a flat fee of $5!!!
I try to ship the NEXT BUSINESS DAY on all Paypal orders that I receive.
