Often referred to as ‘Hair Point’, Mao Jian is a carefully cultivated leaf, with an extremely pleasant flavor. The light yellow brew yields distinctly vegetal notes, rounded off with a toasted nuttiness. Comprised mainly of fine, dark, curled leaves, this is a tea to be savored. We recommend using a larger quantity of leaves and steeping them several times. Tranquility Green is sourced from Hunan Province, R.O.C.
*Chinese Green Tea.
*Organically Grown.
- Scoop a mounded teaspoon of tea leaves into your infuser.
- Heat water to 180° (just before boiling).
- Pour 8 oz. of water over tea leaves.
- Steep tea for 3-5 minutes (depending on taste preference).
- Remove infuser and enjoy tea.
Simply add to your infuser one mounded teaspoonful of leaf per 8 oz. of water and place it in your pot, then add the appropriate amount of 180° water and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the infuser and serve!
Our opinion is that a cooled concentrate works best, as regular-strength brew tends to become watery as the ice melts. So, use the above leaf quantities, but half the water, allow it to cool, then pour it over ice and enjoy! The brew will dilute down to proper strength as the ice melts.
