Organic Credentials: The Metropolitan Tea Company Ltd. Certified Organic by Pro-Cert Organic Systems Ltd. (Equivalency agreements NOP, COR, EU, JAS) #CA-ORG-016
INFORMATION: Pearl River signifies very important, master quality, cleanliness and good health. This superior quality Pearl River is exceptionally well graded with even curly leaf. Only the best leaves are able to achieve this particular curl and to sort these leaves from the rest of the leaf production the estate hand sorts. This means the tea is spread out on a table and the leaves are picked out - one by one! The best tea is made during March and April when the tea bush re-emerges from its winter dormancy and expends all its 'spring' energy into growing the new shoots. Only the top two leaves and the new bud is taken. Further, the plucking only takes place in the pre-dawn, when the leaf is covered with a misty dew which improves the taste and imparts a fullness to the tea character. Quality of water and it's afects on tea are legendary. Lu Yu, the father of Chinese tea (Cha'Ching or Book of Tea wrillen in 780 AD), stated that water was of ulmost importance. On a trip on the Yangize River as a guest of a dignitary, Lu Yu asked have tea made with water drawn from the center of the river which was the cleanest and lastiest. After a sip Lu Yu said in disgust that the water was from the river bank. The man responsible denied this. Lu Yu retasted the tea and declared that perhaps the man was correct but the water inferior. The man acknowledged that after he had drawn the water from the center of the river, it had spilled on the return trip and the jar was topped up with water from midstream.
Before the dignitary had the man pul to death, the man declared 'Master Lu, you are clearly immortal
