white monkey tea
|
According to legends some teas are grown in areas so high and precipitous that
local growers train monkeys to pluck the tea leaves. Other sources
attribute the name to the distintive shape of the tea leaves. This green
tea grows on the slopes of the Taimu mountains in Fujian, China. It is
gathered and processed by hand which produces a very light cup of tea that is
sweet with a delicate scent.
For best results, allow tea leaves to circulate freely while steeping. You
can use an infuser basket or just add the loose tea to the teapot and strain
while serving.
Teas are best when used within one year of purchase. To protect teas from
the damaging effects of air and light, tea should be stored in opaque, airtight
containers. We use resealable foil bags that keep your tea fresh and
delicious.
