Brewing Instructions
Water temperature is vital to achieving best flavour from your tea! Green tea, the sensitive one; with water too hot results in brunt tea leaves, leaving you an unpleasant bitterness. Use the correct temperature and it will sing you the sweetest melody with wonderful flavours.
1 tbsp per 250ml of water
75 degree Celsius (Bring cold spring water to the boil and pour into a teapot. Set aside for 6 minutes before adding tea). Or to bring water temperature down faster, add one quarter of cold filtered water to your brewing vessel then top with boiled water.
Brew for 3 minutes. The leaves are good for 2 infusions. Any infusions after the first, the water, should be a little hotter and brewed for one to longer.
If a more robust flavour is required, always add an extra teaspoon of tea to avoid oversteeping which causes bitterness.
The Story Behind This Tea
Our Yellow Mountain Green tea in China is known as 'Mei Cha', meaning "Eyebrow Tea". This tea has inherited its name because the curled and wispy shape of the leaves resembles eyebrows. A fun fact: in China, long eyebrows are a representation of good health and longevity, therefore drinking eyebrow tea bare's an affiliation with health and a long life. Most regions in China produce a type of Mei Cha; ours comes from the beautiful mountainous Anhui Province in the Huang Shan tea region, which is home to some of China's famous teas. Huang Shan translates to 'Yellow Mountain', and is located in the southernmost part of Anhui Province, eastern China. This part of the world is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so you can only imagine the pristine conditions and the abundance of tea culture found here. Our tea is picked by hand in the middle of April and is left whole, as most Mei Cha is machine cut for grading purposes. In saying that, the Mei Cha that is sold within China has not been cut and is therefore graded by how thick the leaves (the thicker the leaves, the lower the grade). Our Yellow Mountain Green tea is very thin showing that it is of a higher grade. So cheers to good health and longevity!

Tea is a wonderful big world full of flavours and beautiful aromas. Our blends are made to be explored.
This brew is flavourful and it leaves an amazing after taste. The best green tea I've ever tried. It has been perfect for my morning boost of energy! I really appreciated the clear instructions on how to properly prepare it, since I am still an amateur at brewing tea.
I drink a lot of green tea during the day and this would have to be my favourite. It so smooth and not bitter at all. I highly recommend Yellow Mountain Green tea when choosing your next green tea.
