2019 Himalayan Imperial Green
2019 Himalayan Imperial Green
From the Highest Tea Gardens in the World
______________________________
The Guranse Tea Estate, with its luxurious emerald green tea bushes where you can feel the crisp Himalayan breezes, has the highest and the oldest organic tea gardens in the foothills of the Himalayas - and has produced many award winning teas.
Among the many differences between high-end green teas, the methods used to prevent fermentation are completely different: Baked or processed by hand in a large dry wok in Nepal and China, steamed in Japan.
For this Limited Edition, this highest tea in the world - after going through exceptionally hard Winter conditions - has been lightly rolled by hand on bamboo mats to bruise the leaf, then very quickly steamed to lock the nutrients in the plant right at the peak of its renewed strength. Its character is totally unique, sweet and mellow with hints of gooseberry, grapes and flowers.
This very rare tea is a Single Origin, Vintage tea: each Year brings a different flavour. This Guranse Tea is for one season only - it will be replaced by another exceptional Chinese Green Tea.
70°C / 175°F Water. 30s. Infusion for GonFu brewing, 2 mn. for Western brewing.
