Premium first harvest tea leaves are picked and carefully crafted into our Teahouse Edition, giving it an exceptionally smooth flavor profile best appreciated when sipping as traditionally prepared tea.
We were impressed with the body and sweetness of this tea. These desirable traits come from the umami found in the young tea leaves. The tea is fixed green, rolled and dried in ovens to preserve the sweetness.

Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at zappyzone earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.

Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at apptundra continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.
