Green Tea

Green Teas, or Lü Cha, are not oxidized. Instead, when they are picked they are immediately heated to stop the natural oxidation in a process called kill green. Then the leaves are shaped and dried. The traditional Chinese method of kill green involves gently pan-frying the leaves which produces teas that are light in color and body with nutty, fruity, and floral flavors. On the other hand, the traditional Japanese method of kill green uses a steaming process that gives leaves a vegetal, oceanic, grassy, and sweet melody of flavors. All of our green teas from other regions have been processed in the Chinese style.

Burmese Wild Green

$8.00

This green tea comes from deep in the Shan Hills of Myanmar in Namhsan Township, where wild tea trees grow in the forest and are naturally cultivated by the local people of the Shan State in the Eastern part of the country, close to the border with Yunnan in China. This tea is collected from semi-wild assamica tea plants that grow to 3 – 5 meters in height. The characteristic earthy aroma caused by drying over flames from exotic woods is evident in its taste. It is an exclusive shipment for Dobra tearooms.

Burmese Wild Green is sold for $8.00 / oz.
