Newby Teas Hunan Green 15 Silken Pyramids 38g
Description
The Story
This renowned green tea originates from Hunan province, one of China's most celebrated tea-growing regions. The tightly twisted leaves are plucked in spring and rolled to form bold spirals of tea, creating a distinctive, slightly sweet flavour.
Tasting Notes
A light green cup with the subtle fragrance of fresh tea leaves combined with a sweet and gentle aftertaste.
The Silken Pyramid
This precious whole leaf tea is cocooned in biodegradable silken pyramids, individually sealed for freshness.
For millennia, philosophers and sages developed the art of transforming fragile leaves into transcendent cups.
Like alchemists, they understood the importance of water quality, temperature and brewing time - an art that is slowly fading.
It is this art that Newby seeks to revive, presenting the finest teas and honouring millennia of tradition with a one-of-a-kind museum collection.
Curated as carefully as our teas, Newby's Chitra Collection chronicles the very history of tea in priceless objects.
We have chosen to feature one of these objects with each of our teas and tisanes.
A Rare Famille Verte Teapot
China, c. 1690, Kangxi Reign
This teapot depicts emperor Mu Wang's eight mythological horses, who according to myth had supernatural gifts, from galloping without touching the ground to riding on a cloud.
Tea is Newby's passion. Our mission is to source, blend, preserve and serve the world's finest teas.
Selecting the best leaves from prime harvest seasons, we preserve the quality of Newby's blends at our state-of-the-art facility in the heart of the world's finest tea-growing regions.
We pack all our teas in alu-foil to preserve their freshness and unique character.
Newby's award-winning teas and tisanes are enjoyed in fine establishments around the world, a luxury you can now experience for yourself.
