Description
VAKKA's green tea has lived its life on the hilltops of Zhejiang Province, located on the east coast of China. The landscape here consists of hilly terraces, where clouds and fog surround the hilltops. It is a very lush area and it benefits the beautiful tea plants, which have all the prerequisites to grow big and strong. The temperature on the hilly terraces is on average 15-16 ° C, which creates the perfect conditions for this beautiful tea.
VAKKA's selected green tea has a very special history. It was very famous in ancient China, but was forgotten and had been lost for many years. Fortunately, it was found and brought back to life in the 80s. Just like a treasure that was hidden but found. And that's what our organic green tea is - a treasure. It is quite special and sprouts earlier than other teas in China. It can already be harvested in March. It is picked around the spring equinox, and heats up quickly after picking. In this way, the natural oxidation process is stopped, which continues in both oolong tea and black tea . The leaves are rolled flat and have the most beautiful green color.
You should choose our organic green tea if you want a fresh and elegant taste with notes of dried grass, a touch of sweetness, and a dry finish.
Oxidation: Non-oxidized
Process: The tea is heat treated immediately after picking to preserve the green color. Then the tea leaves are smoothed and rolled completely flat. Finally, the leaves are dried under high heat to stop the natural oxidation process.
How to brew tea
To achieve the most refined taste, we recommend that you use 2 teaspoons (with top) tea for every pint of water. You get the purest taste by pouring the tea leaves with boiled water, which has a temperature of 75-80 degrees. Then let it soak for 1-2 minutes. Filter the tea leaves from immediately after brewing. There are lots of flavors in our tea leaves and the same tea leaves can be reused several times.
