Gold Mountain Green, ¼ lb package

Gold Mountain Green

This green tea is from Gold Mountain, near the town of Jinzhai, in southwestern Anhui Province. A fine example of a Chinese green tea, the young leaf and bud sets can easily be seen. Once steeped, the dark green leaves and lighter buds release a nutty aroma, and the liquid is light in color. Medium-bodied yet surprisingly full in flavor, this Gold Mountain Green finishes nicely with a lingering sweet aroma.

Description

This delicately complex green tea was grown in the verdant mountains of China’s Anhui Province. Its steeping leaves unfurl, releasing a lightly vegetal flavor with toasted undertones.

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!
