N°106 VOYAGEUR DU TEMPS

Its Chinese name means Lu An Watermelon Seed, referring to the shape of its harvested leaf. The manufacturing process is the most complicated among green teas, and requires obvious know-how. The last step involves very precise fire control; the leaves are placed in a large bamboo basket held by two men who carry it over a wood fire for 80-100 3-second cycles. The beautiful twisted leaves are a deep emerald green. It is the only green tea that is made only from the leaves, and has no buds or stems. The infusion offers a refreshing, vegetal and intense cup, slightly sweet, gradually passing to more flowery undertones. Invigorating and delicate, this silky tea deserves its title of ten best teas in China.
