    Tropical Green Tea is a blend of our Platinum Award Winning Tenryu sencha, banana and coconut nibs, cherry bits and cashew nuts that combine to form a smooth, light and toasty tea with a sweet, dessert-like flavor. 

    Enjoy it as a warm tea or a cold infusion (see Brewing Recommendations).

    Ideal brewing vessel: Glass or porcelain easy gaiwan or tea pot

    Steeping: Pour 175F water down the side of the brewing vessel, not directly on the leaves. Steep for 1 minute. Replace the tea pot lid and then pour the liquor into a gong dao bei (fairness pitcher) before apportioning into tea cups.  Brew a second time for 30 seconds. For the third and final brew, steep in low temperature water (around 150F) for 2 minutes.
