Called Sparrow Tongue because of its characteristic look, in the cup the leaves stand vertically, putting on a bit of a show while they steep! It’s definitely worth investing in a glass teapot or infuser mug just for this tea!
Mellow, sweet with notes of sweet green vegetables and gentle nuttiness, this is a beautiful green tea that is really refreshing.
Full leaf with many buds from the season’s first pick, the leaves are rolled and curled. The wet leaves reveal small bite marks showing insect activity and demonstrating the tea’s natural farming, without pesticides. These tiny bite marks cause a little oxidation around the marks, resulting in an added sweetness to the tea.
We recommend brewing at 80°c to get the most out of this excellent tea, but slightly higher and for longer brews will bring a stronger, more intense brew, still without bitterness.
