Ingredients: Organicand Fair Trade Certified Chinese White Tea

Origin: Wuyuan Xitou Tea Farmers Association, Jiangxi Province, China

Jiangxi, Located On The Eastern Side Of China, Is Surrounded By Mountains On Three Sides And Sits Comfortably In A Subtropical Climate, Making It An Excellent Place For Growing Tea. As A Whole, Tea Isn’T A Large Export From This Part Of China, But In The North Of Jiangxi Tea Production Has Become An Important Part Of The Agriculture. The Jiangxi Wuyuan Xitou Tea Farmers Association Reflects The Transition Of A Society From Governmental Control To Democratic Processes And Market Economy. Once State-Owned, Wuyuan Xitou’S Ten Tea Gardens Are Now Owned By Individual Farmers Who Have Collectively Assembled To Make Up The Farmers Association That Became Fair Trade Certified In 2004.

Steeping Instructions

At Arbor Teas, We Believe Tea Should Be Brewed To Suit Your Personal Taste. We’Re Happy To Make Recommendations To Get You Started, But Don’T Hesitate To Experiment! When Brewing Your Tea, Your Main Considerations Are Tea Quantity, Water Temperature, And Steeping Time. We Recommend Green And White Teas To Be Steeped For 2 To 3 Minutes In Water Heated To Not-Quite-Boiling, Just As Bubbles Begin To Form On The Bottom Of The Pan (Approximately 170 To 180 Degrees F). For The Best Flavor, Use Fresh Water Whenever Possible. Try Not To Steep Your Tea Longer Than Necessary, As You’Ll Extract Undesirable Bitterness From The Leaves. If You Want A Stronger Brew, Don’T Steep Longer, Just Use More Tea. And Remember To Re-Steep Your Tea Leaves To Get The Most Out Of Your Leaf!
