Delicious green tea character with delightful fruity-like early season flavor. Tending bright emerald green liquor. CERTIFYING BODY: QMI Organic Inc., Canada. This tea is a top quality Green Tea (Peacock #1 showy, beauty, importance, good luck) with good green tea taste properties - slightly vegetative and fruity, but refreshing and clean. This superior quality Peacock #1 tea is exceptionally well graded. It is said that if you look closely at the infused leaf you will see the fan of the peacocks tail feathers. This tea has a delightful fruity-like character which is on account of the plucking and time of year it is grown. The finest crop is plucked in the early season (March/April), before the May rains have swelled the tender leaves and the sun noon day sun stresses the tea bush to the point where it affects the flavor. This tea is plucked in the early season as the sun is just beginning to rise above the horizon. Plucking of new leaf is generally carried out by women who get up at 3 to 4 am and walk in groups to the fields. On the way they risk encounters with poisonous snakes and nasty insects. To keep their spirits up they often sing songs such about their dreams and their loves. The last 2 lines of a popular Zhejiang folk song go as follows: My spirit in a tizzy, I ordered that young man, by all means to await me in my dreams to come. (Grade: Special handmade peacock style)
