TEA STORY
Chinese name: En Shi Yu Lu 恩施玉露

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.
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 3-5 times when using a tea egg, filter bag, or Chinese Gaiwan/Glass teapot.

COLD BREW
5g | 750ml | 5 °C | 6-8 hrs

Use 5 grams of tea with 750ml of cold water. Place it in the fridge and let it steep for 6–8 hours. After that, strain the tea. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.

We recommend preparing it either in the evening before bed or in the morning, so you can enjoy it throughout the day. If you plan to keep the tea in the bottle for a longer time, consider using less tea to prevent it from becoming too strong.
