Lemon Green

Lemon Green: The Zesty Tea Battery

Have you ever heard of a Lemon Battery? This term refers to a popular school science experiment where electrodes are attached to a lemon, generating enough electricity to power a small light bulb or engine. The high acid content in the fruit makes this possible—it’s hard to believe, but it’s true! At Natteas, we’ve created something just as electrifying: our Lemon Green tea, a zesty blend that captures the vibrant flavour of lemon combined with the full-bodied, brisk character of pekoe gunpowder.

The Strength of Pekoe Gunpowder

Pekoe gunpowder is one of the stronger-flavoured green teas on the market, taking your taste buds on a journey through smoky depths with every sip. Its robust flavor arises from a meticulous rolling process during production. Each leaf is hand-rolled, which forces flavorful liquids from the center of the leaf to the surface. The firing process then seals the leaf in this rolled state, keeping all that flavor and power contained.

(Small. Round. Contained power. Sounds a lot like a battery, doesn’t it?)

The Zest of Fresh Lemons

While lemons are often known for their soothing qualities, they also pack a punch. Just think about how your lips pucker when you bite into a pure lemon! When combined with the strength of pekoe gunpowder, the result is a lively, refreshing blend.

So there you have it: The Lemon Tea Battery. Pekoe gunpowder and lemon create a magical combination that energizes and invigorates. Brew a cup of Lemon Green today and experience its delightful fusion of flavours. We’d love to hear if you agree with our description!

Jasmine Dragon Tears

Jasmine Dragon Tears: A Tea of Extraordinary Quality

Jasmine Dragon Tears is a premium green tea made from the top two leaves and the bud of new season growth, typically harvested in late March or early April. Skilled artisans hand-roll these delicate leaves into small pearls. When you infuse these pearls in your cup, you’ll see the leaves and buds unfurl beautifully. If you look closely, you might notice the small “hairy down” on the buds—this feature signals superb quality and careful handling.

The Perfect Timing for Plucking

The extraordinary flavour of Jasmine Dragon Tears stems from the precise timing of plucking, meticulous manufacturing, and fresh spring jasmine blooms. In China, the new tea season begins in late March or early April, depending on the weather. The first four weeks yield the best tea; after that, quality can decline rapidly. For this reason, producers make Dragon Pearls exclusively from tea harvested during the initial three weeks of the season.

Fragrant Jasmine Blooms

While tea makers pick the leaves, jasmine bushes bloom in spring. Only the most fragrant blossoms, from bushes known for their exceptional flowers, make the cut. Artisans layer these fresh jasmine flowers between the tea leaves, allowing the intense and uplifting fragrance of the blooms to infuse the tea.

An Extraordinary Taste Experience

Ultimately, this process creates an extraordinary taste experience that blends the rich, grassy notes of green tea with the enchanting aroma of jasmine. Each sip of Jasmine Dragon Tears offers a delicate balance of flavour and fragrance. So, brew a cup today and indulge in this exquisite blend!

Golden Mountain Needle

Golden Mountain Needle: A Rare Delicacy from Sichuan

Golden Mountain Needle comes from the central peak of Mount Meng in Sichuan, China. This tea thrives on the southern and eastern slopes, where heavy mists and volcanic soil create ideal growing conditions. The region’s unique climate helps produce tea with exceptional flavor profiles. A record from the Qing Dynasty tells of a monk named Sweet Dew, who gathered only ninety leaves each year from seven tea trees on this mountain, crafting an extraordinarily delicious brew that has become legendary.

Scarcity and Value

Despite its rarity, tea from Mount Meng is highly prized by connoisseurs around the world. Its limited production adds to its allure, making each cup a special experience. The meticulous production process is both fascinating and demanding. Tea makers pluck the leaves only during the last two weeks of March, ensuring they harvest them before the morning sun dries the misty dew. Each day, they select only new leaves that measure less than 20 mm long, ensuring the highest quality.

Artisanal Production Process

After plucking, the leaves undergo a delicate process. First, artisans lightly roll the leaves to break their cells just enough. Then, they immediately steam the leaves to halt any fermentation. Finally, skilled hands form and press the leaves before the final drying stage. This careful craftsmanship preserves the tea’s unique characteristics, resulting in a product that showcases the terroir of Mount Meng.

An Exquisite Flavor Experience

The result is an early morning green tea with a wonderfully fresh flavour and an extremely pale liquor. Golden Mountain Needle offers a delightful tasting experience that transports you to the serene slopes of Mount Meng. You’ll notice its light, grassy notes complemented by a subtle sweetness and a refreshing finish.

Enjoying Golden Mountain Needle

To fully appreciate this tea, steep it at a lower temperature to preserve its delicate flavours. Pair it with light snacks or enjoy it on its own for a calming afternoon break. Take a moment to savour this exquisite tea and enjoy your Golden Mountain moment! With each sip, you connect with the rich history and natural beauty of this remarkable region.

Sencha Kyoyo Cherry Rose

Sencha Kyoyo Cherry Rose: A Floral Celebration of Spring

Sencha Kyoyo Cherry Rose showcases the finest Japanese-style green teas produced in Hunan Province. Early in the season, this tea boasts a bright emerald green hue and vibrant flavour notes. It embodies a fresh spring character with pungency and body. Moreover, the tea bushes begin to grow in March, and the quality remains exceptional until the end of April. After this period, however, the rapid growth of the bushes can compromise the tea’s flavor. That’s why we source our teas exclusively from this prime window, between March 15 and April 15.

The Ritual of Tea

Furthermore, Sencha is commonly featured in Japanese tea ceremonies, which mark significant personal events. In these ceremonies, the ritual itself holds great importance, symbolizing respect and mindfulness for the individual being honoured. Thus, this practice enriches the experience of enjoying tea, turning it into a moment of reflection and connection.

An Avant-Garde Blend

Flavoured teas have become a relatively new phenomenon, and combining the delicate flavours of rose and Japanese-style green tea is considered avant-garde by many. In addition, Kyoto, the cultural heart of Japan, adds to the charm of this blend. Once the religious capital of Japan, Kyoto is home to many historic relics, including over 1,000 iconic torii gates. These large, curved structures evoke a sense of respect and well-being, setting a serene backdrop for tea enjoyment.

The Essence of Spring

During spring, Kyoto bursts into colour with cherry blossoms, filling the air with their sweet aroma. Notably, the rose petals in our Sencha Kyoyo Cherry Rose blend mimic the delicate essence of these cherry blossoms, capturing the enchanting scents that drift on a spring breeze. This tea not only celebrates the beauty of the season but also pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of Kyoto.

A Toast to Tradition

Indulging in a cup of Sencha Kyoyo Cherry Rose invites you to experience a fusion of floral and green tea flavours. Additionally, the harmonious blend creates a delightful and refreshing taste, perfect for any time of day. Enjoy it hot for a comforting experience or iced for a refreshing treat during warm spring days.

Ultimately, join us at Natteas to celebrate the arrival of spring with Sencha Kyoyo Cherry Rose. Savour this exquisite blend and allow it to transport you to the cherry blossom-filled streets of Kyoto, where every sip feels like a moment of tranquillity.

Jasmine with Flowers

Jasmine with Flowers: A Floral Symphony in Every Sip

Jasmine with flowers tea stands out as one of the most delightful green teas available. Upon opening the package, the dry tea reveals a floral bouquet that awakens your senses, inviting pleasant thoughts and memories. Furthermore, the flavour of this tea is elevated by the addition of jasmine blossoms, which not only enhance its taste but also provide a visual appeal that few other teas can match.

Understanding Jasmine Tea Grades

There are various grades of jasmine tea, and this particular blend ranks as the first grade below the exotic varieties. In essence, it captures all the essential flavors, aromas, and qualities of high-quality green tea without the hefty price tag. In China, tea enthusiasts refer to this blend as “Jasmine #1,” a testament to its exceptional quality.

The Art of Production

The production of jasmine tea is both fascinating and meticulous. First and foremost, it begins with selecting high-quality green tea, harvested between mid-March and mid-May. Equally important are the jasmine blossoms, which bloom from May 1st to the end of May, offering the most intense aroma.

Traditionally, producers layered jasmine blossoms between fine green tea leaves, allowing the scent to permeate the tea over time. Today, modern techniques involve passing hot air through the jasmine blossoms, which is then filtered through the tea leaves. This method allows for multiple uses of the blossoms, ensuring maximum flavour extraction while also creating an aesthetically pleasing final product, as the exhausted blossoms are often used to decorate the tea.

The Taste Experience

When brewed, jasmine tea yields a cup filled with the concentrated, heady bouquet of a garden in full bloom. The flavor profile is exquisite: light yet fragrant, with sweet floral notes that dance on your palate. This tea is perfect for sipping alone or serving to guests, offering a refreshing experience that evokes the beauty of nature.

Conclusion: Sip and Savour
