Tian Mu Qing Ding

Tian Mu Qing Ding: 'Heavenly Blue Summit'

Tian Mu Qing Ding is an excellent green tea from China's Zhejiang Province. This, one of China's famous (Tribute) teas, is grown high in the mists of the picturesque sub-tropical Tian Mu mountain where the tea is picked for only two weeks each spring. Delicately twisted, its long, fine green leaves produce a rich aroma and a light, sweetish and smooth taste. The cup is pale gold. Use one teaspoon per cup with freshly boiled water that has cooled to around 80 C. and infuse for three minutes.

Lovely "I love this tea, has a really nice after taste, my new favourite."
Tian Mu Quing Ding is light, summery "It has a hint of delicate sweetness. Tian Mu Quing is highly prized, due to the fact that it is only picked for two weeks every year. This means that each cup is very, very special and should be savoured."
Heavenly indeed! "This tea takes me to the Heavenly Blue Summit several times each day. My workmates laugh at the name, but the delicate yet confident flavour is truly special. My very favourite green tea. Buy a bag of this, and then be ready to buy a lot more - superb."
First time experience "This is a wonderfully smooth, non-bitter tea with good aroma - to be enjoyed to the end. Delighted that it is organic as well."
An exquisite mellow and smooth flavour. "It has a very rich aroma which enhances the flavour. The taste is not bitter but it is sharp and crisp. The colour of the tea is pale gold and does not appear to darken with steeping. This tea is very special. An exquisite tea of the highest quality and a personal favourite, highly recommended."
