The Solstice Tea Traders loose leaf green tea sampler is an amazing way to try a selection loose leaf green teas ranging from exotic, to widely available. Each sampler includes... Dragon Well 3rd Grade (Longjing Tea)- A luxury green tea, among the most famous, sought after and expensive green teas from China.

Gunpowder Green Tea- Smoky full bodied green tea. Higher caffeine content, and a much bolder taste than other green teas.

Sencha China Green Tea- China grown and imported Japanese style full leaf green tea. Sencha is a name for a beverage when finished, as opposed to the tea leaf name. Sencha refers to the leaves infused in hot water (what we now assume to be a standard method).

Yunnan Green Mau Feng- Large leaf unbroken tea, noticeably larger leaves that are never broken, rolled, or otherwise processed. The flavor is bold and nutty if brewed strong or crisp and refreshingly light if brewed weaker.

Whole Leaf Pan Fired- Green tea leaves that are pan-fired in a wok to stop any further oxidizing. Allowing for preservation of flavor and color.

China Green Tea Fannings- Fannings are left over particles after much costlier and sought after full leaf teas are processed. However, in recent years, fannings have became extremely popular for their cups per scoop ratio, allowing for less tea to go much further.

Each of these varieties makes an average of 25 cups of tea (depends on bulk, re-brewing, etc.)

Note re tea tins: 4-ounce tea tins refers to volume not weight [as weight of tea varies]. Each tin is 2.6 inches wide and 2 inches tall.
