Brew with 195-205 degree F / 90-96 degree C water
Use 1 heaping tablespoon (3-4g) of tea per cup of water
Brew 1-2 minutes
If you prefer a stronger flavor, brew 3-5 minutes or longer Studies have shown that high quality white tea is the healthest tea, because it contains the most EGCG (catechins) and quercetin. Both have been studied extensively. Quercetin has been found to have powerful Anti-inflammatory properties.
Our tea is high quality not only because we dry our tea in small batches, but also because our tea farm is located at an altitude of 2700 feet with clean soil, pure spring mountain water, and a beautiful cloudy climate.
