Tasting Notes
Cold infusion - sweet and grassy with soft vegetal notes and a silky mouthfeel.
Hot infusion - still sweet, but more pronounced and bold vegetal notes with a syrup-like mouthfeel
Quantity
As a refreshing cold infusion, for the best results use 0.2 oz of leaf per 35.5 fl oz of water (6g per litre).
For a hot infusion use 0.1 oz of leaf per 5.5 fl oz of water (2g per 150ml).
Temperature
For a cold infusion, use room temperature filtered water, and place in the fridge after mixing.
For a hot infusion use 158°F (70°C) water.
Time
Cold: infuse for 8 hours (or overnight).
For a hot infusion, steep for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.
Infusions
You can infuse this tea at least twice. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.
Cost Per Cup
24¢ per cup based on 0.1 oz of leaf per 5.1 fl oz of water and 2 infusions.
Why don't we use teaspoon measurements? We use weight measurements for tea because teaspoons can vary hugely in size, as do the tea leaves. Using weight means a consistently great infusion every time.
Jinhua
Zheijang Province
Zheijang Province
Misty Green Tea comes from the mountains of Jinhua, Zheijang province, at the heart of some of the finest tea growing regions in the world, with Hangzhou to the North and Fujian and Anhui to the South.
The region is deeply forested and over 80% of the terrain is hillside and mountain. The high altitudes and subtropical climate result in warm temperatures and delicate mists that protect and nurture the tea.
Farmed according to ancient tradition, without chemical fertilisers, pesticides or insecticides, this is a beautifully clean, bright tea.
