Tea story
Besides being nurtured from the fertile soil of the En Shi region, this tea also benefits a paradise-like climate that is consistent for tea cultivation. The annual template remains around 17°C with a lengthy frost-free period and abundant rainfall.
It is the first-ever ‘steamed’ green tea, while the pan-frying method is still the standard for green teas in China. Its history goes back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907) in China, which stimulated the production and development of Japanese green teas that are mostly done through steaming.
This tea belongs to our Yǐn 隐 | RECLUSE collection.
Brewing recommendations
Steeping: 3g | 100ml | 80 °C | 10s
We recommend a steeping temperature of 80 °C (175 °F), where you can set the boiling water aside and allow it to cool down for a couple of minutes. Then take 3 grams of tea with 100ml water to steep for 10 seconds, or increase to 5 grams with a shorter steeping time if you prefer a stronger tea. The tea can be re-steeped several times when using a tea egg, filter bag, or Chinese Gaiwan/Glass teapot.
Cold brew: 5g | 750ml | 5 °C | 4-8 hrs
Take 5 grams of tea with 750ml water and keep it in the fridge for 4-8 hours. We recommend preparing it in the evening before you go to bed, or in the morning so you can enjoy it during the day. If you want to keep it in the bottle for longer hours, please start with a lower amount of tea to avoid getting too strong. This tea can be reused for 2-3 times of cold brew.
