Tuyết Shan Tea This tea is from the Mountainous (Shan) Northern regions of Vietnam which are home to ancient wild tea trees, most being over 300 years old. The distinctive silver hairs, reminiscent of snow (tuyết), that cover the dried leaves give rise to their naming convention.
Origin: Hoàng Su Phì
Tasting Notes: A one bud and one leaf Red Tuyết Shan tea. After a moderate wither process, the leaves are rolled, roasted and then dried producing a medium-high oxidised tea. Yields a dark amber liquor, full bodied and malty with a spicy and sweet finish.
Preparation: Place 4 grams of tea into tea vessel. Gently pour 50ml of 85° water and quickly pour away. This first rinse is an optional step which washes away any particulates that remain on the leaves. Gently pour 250ml of water and rest for 4 minutes. Repeat for up to 4 infusions with longer brews for each successive infusion.
Packaging Available in a Resealable Pouch or Miron Violetglass Jar, a unique biophotonic glass which retains potency by protecting the tea from the harmful effects of light. We recommend purchasing your first unit in the jar and refilling with the resealable pouch.
