Yixing Chinese Teapots, Teas & Tea accessories.
Teas offered here are imported by the Red & Green Company of San Francisco.
The selection of teas includes specially chosen leaves of more familiar
varieties of Chinese teas as well as some rare regional teas picked from
plantations long known for the teas they grow and process. If your
looking for a specific tea which is not listed here please ask and we will
try to get it for you. While tea plants are all of the same genus, the
variety in color, flavor, and aroma is the result of where in is grown,
which leaves are picked (bud, new leaf, mature leaf) when it is picked
(season or time of day) and how it is processed in order to attain the
unique final brew.
Brewing
Unlike the English tradition of brewing tea with the water is at a rolling
boil, most Chinese teas are best when brewing at sub-boiling temperatures.
For Green teas, downy leaf and white teas made from young buds, 185 F gives
the optimum flavor, Black, Oolong and Pu Er teas are best at 208 F. The
amount of tea used and the duration of brewing is a matter of personal
taste.

contemporary designs that will delight the discriminating buyer. And if you

Chinese tea tray--it's the perfect compliment to the Yixing pottery. |
