Mao Jian

$8.00

[mou jee-ahn]          Five Mountain and Two Pools

This distinguished green tea is found in China’s historic Henan Province, in a region known as “Five Mountains and Two Pools.” We are proud to offer this special green tea to our customers. Its small, uniform leaves are distinguished by silvery tips. Both its aroma and flavor are surprisingly rich for a green tea--almost closer in feel to a “blue-green” oolong. Its smooth, almost creamy texture, woven with its delicious vegetal taste, makes it a truly pleasant and beloved tea. A perfect companion for sitting and watching the leaves begin to change color in early fall.

Mao Jian is sold for $8.00 / oz.

A superior jasmine tea from Fujian, Moli Hua Cha is produced through seven successive cycles of blending in and removing jasmine flowers. It is especially suitable for drinking with close companions. The small, mossy-green leaves, flecked with white petals, hold a pervasive jasmine aroma, a distinctive lingering taste, and a mildly euphoric effect.

This jasmine tea is particularly forgiving in its steeping, making it a perfect choice for beginner tea drinkers.

[bee loh chun]       Lake Taihu Blue-Green Spirals

Joy at Dobrá Tea! Bi Lou Chun is a Chinese green tea made exclusively by hand in Dong Shan, on the gently sloping banks of Lake Tai. In 2006, on our trip to the Jiangsu province, we discovered that many of the residents of this area pick and process the tea in their own homes, ensuring that the tea is kept fresh in small, well-tended batches. Hanging over the tiny-leafed tea plants are fruiting trees: peach, apricot, and plum. They bloom as the plants reach their fullness, all in a tumult of wonderful smells reproduced by the sparkling infusion.

When gently brewed, the tea blossoms with a ripe, slightly astringent taste that is softly herbal and gracefully rich. This Chinese green tea presents with just a hint of oceanic spray and finishes with sweet notes of hazelnuts inhaled alongside fine aged oak barrels. As the wild spirals of these silvery and dark green leaves unfurl dynamically in the teapot, a tender ecstasy of flavor arises. This green tea is not to be missed!

Bi Luo Chun is sold for $12.00 / oz.

Remembering the Tea King
In China, the cradle of tea culture, there is a part of Yunnan known as Xishuangbanna [see-shuang-ban-nah] that lies practically on the border with Burma. It is here that the king of tea trees, Cha-Shu Wang, stands at a proud 100 feet in the heart of the jungle. Cha-Shu Wang is an honorable 1,700 years old and is a site treasured by all tea enthusiasts.

This tea gets its name from a trip that Dobrá founders took in 1997 to visit the ancient tree. All agree, Dian Lu Wenshan calls back memories of this landmark and its importance in Dobrá history.
