Green Pearls (Silk Balls)

This vintage 2023 tea from Fujian province consists of rare green pearls made of early spring bud sets. Rolled "pearls" unfurl into three or four leaves that include a delicately pale tea-leaf bud. These pearls yield a lovely aromatic brew of a satisfying golden liquor with a pronounced, sweet taste and silky finish. This tea can handle multiple infusions. Use 1 rounded teaspoon (3g) dry leaves per 6 ounces spring water heated to a temperature of 80° to 90° C. (180° to 195° F.), steeping for 4 minutes.
