Lü Bao Shi
Bi Luo Chun
"Emerald Spring Spirals ". A very fine tea that should be collected in early spring, as soon as the first tender leaves appear, in which the content of amino acids and tea phenols is the greatest. The tea must be processed the same day it was harvested. The whole process (plucking, drying and rolling) must be completed by night.
Bi Luo Chun has seven classes of varying quality - the lower the class, the bigger the leaves collected and vice versa. For high grades, the drying temperature used is lower and the handling of the sheet more careful. The aroma of dry tea is indescribable, almost honey-like, the leaves are twisted into miniature, richly fluffy spirals, the infusion has a soft emerald color with a heavier, full, yet very fresh taste.
Yunnan Bai Mu Dan
'White Peony' - a sign of high quality is the natural shape of the leaves, the deep, glossy grey-green colour and the high proportion of 'bai hao' - white hairs from the tips.
The colour of the infusion is yellowish-amber, the aroma is floral. The flavour is smooth and at the same time full-bodied and round. Aftertaste is long and pleasantly sweet. The tea only needs to be steeped for a short time, it lasts for many infusions.
Tie Guan Yin Superior
"The Iron Goddess of Mercy," or the Bodhisattva Guan Yin. One of the most famous Chinese teas ever.
The leaves are relatively thick, juicy and large, the infusion gives a rich green-yellow color. In the traditional Chinese concept, tea has most of what is called the orchid quality of taste & aroma. Basic Tie Guan Yin variety roasted to 25% to achieve a more pronounced and richer taste.
