Return of Spring

Harvested once per year at 1200 meters and certified organic from Northern Fujian near the Zhejiang province border. The chemical companies in China continually manufacture undetectable pesticides and herbicides, so true organic certification is vital. We suggest brewing with cooler water temperature around 175 to 180 degrees to allow the delicate, fresh leaves to open evenly. Unlike many green teas, Return of Spring offers extraordinary patience, allowing for many infusions. You may consider brewing in a light colored or white bowl, as part of the joy is the exceptional spring color, a brighter green than any other green teas we've found outside of Japan where they steam the leaf to preserve the color.
