Jade Spring

Jade Spring has a wonderful leafy aroma and a sweet taste. We find it very refreshing. It's a great everyday tea. The exquisite, needle-shaped leaves glisten with white downy hair. This tea won't get too bitter; leave it in the cup or pot and re-steep for another infusion.

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!
