Gold-flecked Green

With almost Tung Ting-like leaves, this organic tea from Anhui province has a floral fragrance. The tawny golden liquor has vegetal tones that lie full on the tongue with a multifaceted finish. Best taste is obtained by using 1 rounded teaspoon of dry leaf per 6-ounce cup of spring water heated to a temperature of 175° to 185°F, infusing 3 to 4 minutes.
