Once introduced to hot water, these tightly worked leaves slowly release and unfurl, revealing surprisingly large, intact leaves beneath their compact form. The transformation is beautiful to watch. What begins as a handful of deep green, almost charcoal-colored rolled leaves expands dramatically in the cup, opening into supple shades of bamboo, olive and jade. The resulting infusion is exceptionally clear, with a delicate pale golden-green color reminiscent of morning dew collecting on young bamboo leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a highly standardized green tea designed for uniformity. Bamboo Jade Dew retains the individuality of the tree from which it came and the hands that shaped it. Variations in the size, curl and appearance of the leaves are part of its character which is evidence of a tea made leaf by leaf rather than manufactured toward visual perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/9309\/5744\/files\/jadetea_pouring.jpg?v=1787938571\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom One Tree, One Place, One Harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-tree tea offers an unusually intimate way to experience Camellia sinensis. Just as the character of a particular grapevine or fruit tree can reflect its individual growing conditions, a tea kept separate from a single tree preserves a degree of individuality that disappears when many plants are blended together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBamboo Jade Dew takes that idea even further through its wild Japanese origin and traditional hand-rolled preparation, allowing the natural structure of the leaf to remain remarkably visible once brewed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Tea That Continues to Open\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe large whole leaves make Bamboo Jade Dew particularly well suited to mindful, repeated infusions. Rather than releasing everything into the first cup, the leaf gradually opens with successive steepings, allowing you to experience the tea as it evolves.\u003cbr\u003eWatching the tightly rolled jade leaves awaken in water is as much a part of the experience as drinking the tea itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e•Wild Japanese tea tree\u003cbr\u003e•Single-tree origin\u003cbr\u003e•Hand harvested\u003cbr\u003e•Hand rolled\u003cbr\u003e•Whole-leaf green tea\u003cbr\u003e•Small-lot and naturally limited\u003cbr\u003e•No exposure to chemicals ever!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add 2 teaspoons into your teapot and steep with water approximately 180 degrees for the first steeping.
