Greengold Green-White Tea

“Green Gold”: that’s what Georgians called tea. An expression that gives an idea of the preciousness of these leaves: indeed, the care and attention with which this Greengold Green-White Tea is harvested and prepared generate a special aroma and taste that is difficult to replicate. Its particular designation “green-white” comes from its processing: first the leaves are processed as if they were white tea, and then the processing techniques of green tea are finished. The liqueur has a smooth, silky body with distinct herbal and floral aromas. Delicate and refreshing, this tea is like a gentle caress.

How to prepare

We strongly recommend infusing this tea in the traditional Chinese method (Gong Fu Cha) with a gaiwan with a capacity of about 150 ml. By following this preparation, multiple infusions can be made with 5 grams of leaves that are useful to best capture all the flavor nuances of the tea.

Heat the water to a temperature of 80°C and proceed to an initial infusion of 40 seconds. Keeping the water at the same temperature, you can then continue to exploit the same leaves by adding more water and increasing the infusion time by 10 seconds each time (40 – 50 – 60…).

This tea has a longevity of 6-8 infusions.

For a more classic preparation in the Western style, we recommend 3 grams of leaves (about 2 teaspoons) in a 200-mL cup with water at 80°C for an infusion time of 3-5 minutes.

For a better tasting experience, we suggest that you strain the infusion as soon as the brewing time is over. The brewing time recommendations, however, can also be slightly adjust by your personal taste in order to obtain a strong or more delicate cup of tea.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
