Dragon Phoenix Pearl gets its name from the visual characteristics of the tea bushes "climbing" the hillsides like a dragon coming out of the water. The green tea is grown in an area in Funding City near the border of the Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. The area is mountainous and is often shrouded in clouds or fog. The tea is picked in April/May and processed by hand by rolling each leaf and a bud into tiny pearl sized balls. Once rolled, the tea is wrapped in silk mesh and dried by fire to set the form. The tea is then held until August/September when the finest jasmine blossoms are in bloom. The jasmine flowers are picked before noon and set aside until evening when the petals begin to open in the cool night air. Once open, the "marrying" of the jasmine to the tea happens in two aplicaions after which the jasmine petals are removed. According to analysis done by Chinese researchers, Dragon Phoenix Pearl has a higher concentration of vitamin C and amino acids than any other teas. This is unquestionably one of the finest jasmines shipped from the port of Fuzhou.   321 $25.95 Pop Up Order Page Formosa Green Dragon Oolong Tea (1/4 Pound Bag) This smooth and aromatic Taiwanese oolong tea is greener than most. Lighter in color, both leaf and liquor, the Green Dragon Oolong is oxidized for a shorter period of time then the darker oolong teas.

The tightly rolled leaves expand to reveal a bud and two leaves that can be brewed several times, with each infusion creating a new experience.  322 $19.95 Pop Up Order Page Japan Genmaicha Green Tea Genmaicha tea is an incredible example of the art of tea.

This gourmet tea is protected while it develops, keeping the tea under 90% shade for 20 days. When the first buds appear, the entire area is covered with bamboo - reducing the effects of photosynthesis. The tea develops a higher chlorophyll content (making the leaves a dark green). The tea will have a sweet flavor (a by product of the low tannin content that this process produces). It is then hand-picked, removing any undesirable leaves - steamed, fluffed, and pressed - shipped to us where they may soon find a home in your cup. Brews a sweet, clear cup that requires steeping only 3 minutes.   324 $21.95 Pop Up Order Page Temple of Heaven Gunpowder Tea Gunpowder green tea gets its name because the tightly rolled green leaves resemble the powder used in cannons on 18th century British ships.
