This was a nice green tea that pairs well with other teas since it is light in flavor.
A well-known green tea in China and virtually unknown outside Fujian Province. Stir Fried is plucked early in the spring harvest and then pan-fired to a lovely, wholesome & sweet vegetal flavors. As it is not produced for the export market, it is generally grown on small farms and found in local tea markets. Our lot was harvested mid-April 2023.
Lot Notes. As it is a Mao Feng cultivar, the best lots come out early in the harvest when there are greater variations in temperature. This year's lot was made more to a deep green color. Lot is high fire accentuating its natural sweet flavors. Excellent used as an everyday green tea!

Tasting Notes. In tasting, the cultivar offers fresh cut vegetable flavors, grassy sweet notes. The leaf aroma is toasty. Offers a classic, rich green tea flavor that will satisfy.
Brewing Suggestions. A rounded tablespoon or 3 grams of leaf in 8 ounces of water at 185 - 195 F is our recommendation. Try a steep time of 2 minutes to present the tea's widest range of notes from sip to finish. If a stronger flavor is desired steep 3-4 minutes. Note, the leaves will steep multiple times.
