Information: Our Organic Peacock #1 green tea
is a top quality green tea with very good green tea taste properties- slightly
vegetative and fruity, but refreshing and clean. This top quality organic
Peacock #1 is exceptionally well graded. Peacock #1 has a delightful fruity
like character which is on account of the plucking time of year it is grown.
The finest peacock #1 tea crop is plucked in the early season (March/April),
before the May rains have swelled the tender leaves and the hot noon day sun
stresses the tea bush to the point where it affects the flavor.
Organic tea is produced without the input of chemical
fertilizers or pesticides and herbicides. Unfortunately the yield per acre is
lower and quite often quality can suffer compared to when fertilizers and
others inputs are utilized. Nevertheless with good manufacturing techniques the
cup characteristics can be maintained at a very high level - such is the case
with this tea.
Hot tea brewing method: When preparing
by the cup, this tea can be used repeatedly - about 3 times. The secret is to
use water that is about 180’F or 80’C. Use 1 teaspoon of tea leaves per 6 oz.
cup, let the tea steep for about 2 minutes and then begin enjoying a cup of
enchantment. Same leaves can be re-infused 1-2 more times.
Iced tea brewing method: A rule of thumb
when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since
it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
