Taste: Full bodied Indulging walnut fragrance, long lasting after taste, makes your heart pondering and incredible sensation just like you feel after you had a glass of fine wine! |
Grade: Rare Choice Flowery Orange Pekoe Orange Pekoe: largest sized leaf grade of tea Flowery: It has the tip of the tea leave Choice: First Grade --- blends of only youngest tip leaves,
because different sized leaves infuse at different rates, tea must be blended from leaves
of the same size to maintain consistency in taste. Rare: Only from the first pick before the Qingming rain, in Anhui province --- one of the five major tea producing region in China, only three mountains are named by the government as Genuine HuangShan Mao Feng Tea producers, from one of these mountains, each year we collect the whole collection of the choicest Maofeng tea for our art patrons and our merchants. Depends on the harvest of the year, the whole year production is only 20 to 30 kilos of these rare tea. No one can get rich by selling such little quantity of tea, but we do not mind the work. It's our pleasure to have something special that we can offer to our art patrons.

Da Gu Yun Ying Gou (Silver Hook) Tea
Grade: Orange Pekoe: First Grade: --- As you can see, each piece is a full tea leave and blends of first grade leaves, because different sized leaves infuse at different rates, tea must be blended from leaves of the same size to maintain consistency in taste. What's so Special: Da Gu Yun is the highest and best tea producing mountain in Anhui province. High mountain, dense moisture, and rich in natural humus are the best conditions for tea. Also our tea estates do not use chemicals, also because the steep mountain, everything has to be done by hand. |
 Taste: From the same bush as the Mao Feng tea, but the added rubbing process in making these tea and also the leaves are grown, it has stronger taste than the Maofeng tea. But it does not have the drunken fragrance that a flowery orange pekoe has! Also it's not rare, we can import as much as you want in different grades for tea merchants! |

This is a tea we bought from a very well known health food store. Cost:
$5.06/100gm.$27.57/pound. It's marketed as a Premium Green Tea in Bulk.
These teas are produced in flat tea plants where everything can be done by the machine. By
examining the tea leaves, we can see big branch stems as we put on the upper right corner
in the picture, if we separate out all the stems, at least 1/5th of the Broken Orange
Pekoe are bush wood stems. Another half is very small leaf fragments. We call them fanning
or dust. Fanning and Dust are used for instant tea or tea bags, because they infuse
immediately. Why all these junk in the premium tea, because these teas are picked by the machine, then they are chopped to make into dry tea leaves. They are called Broken Orange Pecoe. In our local place we call them finely made(Jing Zhi Cha) tea. BOP is more sought after than leaf grade by large tea merchants because they are cheap and it has more uses in blends and produces a richer liquor. A lot of the famous brand's popular blends, including English Breakfast, Fine Assam, Afternoon Darjeeling and Earl Grey are made from BOPs. |
