1 teaspoons per 8 ounces fresh pure water at 170°F for 1-2 minutes.
(May be brewed multiple times. Be careful not to overbrew.)
Gene's Tasting Notes (about?):
This tea is now my usual drink around the office. When I put down the cola for tea a while back, I not only felt more productive, I dropped a bit off the waistline. A tasty green or oolong is a nice finish to a working lunch and a great little lift for the afternoon. A teaspoon of these full leaves blooms in hot water and makes a beautiful green brew with an aroma of toasted vegetables and a slight floral perfume. The drink is both toasty and tasty, with just a little hint of flower and some tannin on the finish. It’s a bit like sipping a bag of those vegetable chips you can’t put down. This is also an excellent tea with food. I was surprised at how this tea complemented a salad with tortellini with sun dried tomatoes–almost like a good Chianti. Extremely versatile, and a bargain to boot.
