This wonderful tea is grown in the high-mountain air of the Tongyu mountains. This green tea embodies the ruggedness of its surroundings. The beautiful, long leaves with silver tips are hand-picked and traditionally fired in bamboo baskets over charcoal. It exhibits a slightly fruity taste, with a light, natural sweetness.
Because the leaf has little oxidation, green tea reportedly contains the highest concentration of powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. These antioxidants in green tea have been shown to neutralize free radicals and may reduce or even help prevent some of the damage they cause.
