Ingredients: Whole Leaf Tippy Green Pekoe-Grade Tea from the Sichuan Province in China.

Suggested Water Temperature: 180 F – Suggested Infusion Time: 5 Minutes.

Preparation: Bring fresh water to the boil. Let it cool down for 2 minutes. Warm up your tea pot by rinsing it with hot water. Fill one teaspoon per 6 oz cup of this Green Tea into the preheated tea pot or preferred cup. Pour the hot water into the tea. Let infuse up to 5 Minutes and serve. Remove infuser or pour your tea into another tea-pot or thermos carafe. Using an infuser or ‘Permanent Tea Filter’ for your cup or pot makes it easy to separate the leaves from the beverage after steeping. Most customers like to prepare another infusion with the same leaves.

General Information: Mount Emei (Eyebrow Mountain) is a range located in the Sichuan province of Western China. Mt. Emei (occasionally referred to as Mt. Emeishan) is one of the four sacred Buddhist mountains in China. The patron bodhisattva of Emei is Samantabhadra, in some Chinese sources called Puxian. As far back as the 16th century, the Emei region is also known for the practice of martial arts in the monasteries. Mount Emei was made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1996. This is the location of the first Buddhist temple built in China in the 1st century AD. The site houses nearly seventy Buddhist monasteries of the Ming and Qing period, most of them located at high elevations near the mountain top. The monasteries demonstrate a flexible architectural style that adapts to the landscape. Some are built on terraces of varying levels, others are on raised stilts.
