GOARTEA Liuan Guapian Green Tea - 250g / 8.8oz Premium Grade - Liu An Gua Pian - Melon Slice Spring Chinese Green Tea Loose leaf

Product Description: Liu An Gua Pian is considered one of China's top ten famous teas. The fresh tea leaves picked to produce melon slice are much different from that for other famous teas. After plucking one bud with two or three leaves from the tea plant, the producers separate the full-blown leaves from the tender leaves in time. Following that, both leaf tip and stalk are cut from the full-blown leaves. So each single leaf of melon slice has no bud nor stalk. Carefully groomed leaves are then pan fired at a slow bake over a charcoal fire and frequently turned to impart a delicate hint of smokiness. Liu An melon slice is curled at leaf edge and rich green in color with white frost on the surface. The aroma is fresh, high and long lasting. The taste is mellow, sweet and refreshing. Brew Liu An Gua Pian Green Tea: 1. Rinse tea cup and teapot with hot water. 2. Use about 3.5 - 7 grams of tea leaves (2-3.5 teaspoons) for every 225 ml of water. 3. Steep tea leaves in hot water at 70.C (158.F) to 80.C (176.F) for 1 minute for the first and second brewing. 4. Gradually increase steeping time and temperature for subsequent brewing. 5. Refill when glass is still 1/3 full. Storage Recommendations: To preserve freshness, store in a cool environment and protect from moisture and strong odors. Refrigeration is recommended.
