Tasting Notes: Nutty + Buttery + Vegetal

 

Gua Pian is ultimately balanced mix between umami nuttiness and pleasant vegetal greens with a mouthfeel of buttery roundness.

 

This sundried green tea experiences a short amount of "oxidation" or "metabolic decomposition" before the enzymes responsible for such bioprocesses are denatured through application of controlled heat.

 

This is done by hand tossing small batches of leaves in a heated wok. This process preserves the buttery, umami and green flavors we love in a carefully crafted Gua Pian.
