Green tea by Teasome. Spring Tips is our offer for admirers of the most traditional Chinese green teas. This spring tea is simultaneously very complicated, and yet quite simple and approachable. Its complexity lies primarily in its sophisticated flavour. The fresh flowers that dominate the aroma of the leaves give way to vegetal-fruity flavours during the first brew. All three blend brilliantly into a single entity, as seen in the classic example of Mao Jian tea (as it is known in China).The tea is also very approachable and undemanding. Anyone who is fond of traditional green teas will also definitely appreciate Spring Tips. The tea’s character is very subdued and never strays into any extremes. Perfect as an everyday, favourite green tea.Origin: Hunan, ChinaCultivar: Fuding Xiao KeProfile: fresh flowers, green veggies, honeydew melonHow to brew:5g tea / 250ml water / 80°C temp.First brew: 2 min / Second brew: 3 min / Third brew: 5 minCold brew: 10g tea / 1000ml cold water.

White tea by Teasome. Ya Bao, meaning wild buds from a tea tree, comes from Yunnan, pu-erh’s homeland; here it’s possible to hear it frequently referred to as ‘white pu-erh’. However, this is not the tea’s only unique element. As its appearance suggests, this really is a one-of-a-kind tea.Ya Bao is primarily composed of dormant buds, which are picked at the very beginning of the calendar year after the Yunnan winter. These buds are firmly built and full of a crisp, resinous-piney aroma; in the future these buds would develop not into leaves, but into young branches. Their appearance is a real preview of spring.It’s actually hard to talk about this tea like it’s a typical brew. Its history and appearance are completely different to all other teas; the same can be said for its taste. It’s endlessly pleasant, the sweet flavour is associated with the aroma of resin, hops, pine, with the delicate fruitiness of apricots or peaches biting through. The brew never becomes bitter, even after sitting in boiling water for several minutes. Buds soaked overnight in cold water produce an exquisite cold brew.Origin: Yunnan, ChinaCultivar: Yunnan Da YeProfile: peach, resin, pine needlesHow to brew:European style:5g tea / 250ml water / 95°C temp.First brew: 5 min / Second brew: 10 minGongfu style:5g tea / 100ml water / teamp. 95°C Firts brew: 30s. / Second brew: 20s. / Third brew: 30s. / Fourth brew: 45s. / every next brew - a little longerCold brew: 15g tea / 1000ml cold water (5°C ).
