China Buddha, � lb package

Buddha

Planted one thousand years ago during the Tang Dynasty, this green tea is grown on an island in the East China Sea. Picked in March '07, it has a sweet flavor and beautiful small leaves.

This tea is grown in a constant sea breeze on the highest point of Zhoushan Island, near the legendary home of the bodhisattva Kuanyin, in the East China Sea. After being shaped like an eyebrow, a classic tea-leaf shape, the shape was modified in 1979, and now the perfect leaf-and-bud sets are processed in a small island factory with 16 owners. We are the exclusive distributor for this tea in the U.S.

Brewing Notes

Start with your favorite spring or filtered water. Heat the water to about 180 F, which is when the steam curls out of the kettle. (Or let the water cool from a boil.)
Use a teaspoon (3g) for a 6oz serving. Please note, for denser teas this is about 1 teaspoon; for larger-leaf teas this could be up to 2 tablespoons.
Steep for 2-3 minutes. Remove the leaves when ready -- rely on taste, not color. Use a large enough strainer basket to allow the leaves to open and release their flavor. Get to know the tea by playing with the amount of leaf, the water temperature, and steeping time. Re-steep to make another cup!
