Dryer Mouth green, a recent development in Kenyan tea, is pulled from production half way through the CTC (Cut Tear and Curl) process and immediately fired, halting oxidation. The resulting cup reveals the quality of Kenyan production and the lush majesty of the estates on which it is produced. A magnificent green tea. Non oxidized, unsorted, small batch crafted. An awesome tea! Full green tea notes with all the seasonal taste that has made Kenya the Tuscany of tea. Superbly fresh - like drinking tea on the estate. Very greenish tending yellow. Antioxidant very high. Caffeine level low.
Bring water to 180F. 1 tsp per 6 oz cup. Infuse for 3-4 minutes.
Contains Caffeine.
