"Nepali Green Premium" Organic Green Tea
Nepali Green Premium Organic Green Tea is made in an orthodox manner, meaning as close to the original leaf as possible. The curly green and brown tea leaves are a beautiful display at the bottom of your favorite tea pot. The shoots are tender for a finesse to the palate and a smooth mouthfeel. The leaves' aromatic elements impart flavor into the tea liquor.

Brewing Recommendations
Brewing Recommendations
Serving Size: 3-5g per 100ml of purified water.
Ideal Brewing Vessel: Porcelain tea pot or gaiwan; or high-fired, low profile thin clay teapot.
Steeping: Boil water to 175F/79C and then wait for the water to stop bubbling before pouring the water down the inside of the brewing vessel, not directly on the leaves. Brew for 60 seconds, then replace the lid and pour the liquor into a gong dao bei (fairness pitcher) before apportioning into tea cups. Brew a second time for only 30 seconds because the leaves are now fully open. Brew a third time for 2+ minutes at a lower water temperature (~160F/71C).
Cold Brew: 5g (3 generous pinches) per 450ml of cold water. Refrigerate overnight.
