The Jade Journey collection offers a taste of green teas from the major tea producing areas: China, Japan and India. Jade Journey includes 1 ounce each of the following teas:
Makaibari Darjeeling Green - This beautiful, long-leaf green tea has a naturally sweet taste and a light floral note that is characteristic of teas from India's Darjeeling district.
Fukamushi Sencha - Known as "deep-steamed" tea, this second flush sencha brews a deep lime-green cup with a bold, rich flavor. The leaves are steamed longer than standard sencha, resulting in a more intense flavor and less bitterness. Makes a great iced tea.
Dragon Well - One of China's "10 famous teas", Dragon Well (Lung Jing) green tea has been prized since the Tang Dynasty for its jade green color, mellow taste, floral aroma and flat, shiny leaves. This handcrafted, pan-fired tea is refreshing and cooling with a nutty flavor reminiscent of roasted chestnuts and a sweet aftertaste.
Nepal High Mountain - From the Siddha Devi Estate, this high-mountain grown, hand-crafted green tea has an aroma of wildflower honey with a fresh vegetal flavor reminiscent of spring peas and delicate, slightly earthy notes. Nestled in the hills of Ilam at an altitude of 7,600 feet in Nepal, the tea garden enjoys a pristine Himalayan micro-climate that contributes to the tea’s distinctive quality and taste.
We may substitute a comparable tea in the case that one of the designated teas is not available.
