Liu
An Gua Pian Tea–
Considered one of China "10 Famous Teas", Liu An Guapian is
a hearty green tea with a fresh, lightly floral aroma, sweet
taste and hint of smokiness.
Also known as "Melon Seed", the shape of this tea is
especially distinctive, resembling a sunflower seed. After
picking the bud and two leaves from the plant, the teamaker
cuts the bud and any stem from the leaves, creating
equal-sized single leaf pieces. These carefully cut leaves
are then pan-fired over low heat, creating a tea with bright
green colored leaves and a flavor that is rich and
full-bodied.
Origin: China, Anhui Province. Certified Organic.
Brewing Recommendation: Use 1 tablespoon per 6 oz cup. Heat
water until steaming (170 - 180º F). Let steep 2-3 minutes.
