Country of Origin: Taiwan

Growing Region: Shan Lin Xi, Nantou county

Harvest Date: Spring 2013

Packaging:  100 g  packs

Preparation:  Prepare using 100 degree boiled water. Use 2.5gm per 100ml and steep for 45 to 60 seconds.  This tea can be infused up to 7 times.  In fact, the best tea is from the second and third steepings.  With each steep, increase the steeping time in increments of 15 seconds.  For example, if you steep the first brew for 45 seconds, the second should steep for 60 seconds, the third for 75 seconds, etc.  You may need to increase this increment for the last couple of infusions — depending on taste and providing the tea is not too light to drink.
