Star of China: 2 ounces A very delicate green tea taste. Special downy leaves are laboriously hand tied into star shapes. White tea is ackowledged to have high levels of polyphenols. Fuding, located in the North-Eastern portion of Fujian province is considered by many to be the epicentre of hand-made tea production. The town also has a reputation for producing some of the world's finest Jasmine and green teas. While there are many gardens that produce this tea, the buds from which our Star of China is made come from the Rui Yun Tea Base, one of the finest gardens in the region. Once the large leaves have been steamed and are still damp, they are hand-stiched into the distinctive 5-pointed star shape. The tea workers who stitch the tea are respected specialists, and many of their families have been making the star for generations. Current annual production of this tea is roughly 6 tons.
