An amazing blend of green tea, white tea and green “Tuo Cha” Pu-Erh tea cakes mixed with a medley of delicious strawberries, pineapple and citrus pieces.
How to Prepare
Use 1 teaspoon of tea per 8oz of water. Heat water to 175-180 degrees and steep for 1 minute. 2oz of tea equals 25-30 teaspoons.
Ingredients:
Green tea, white tea, green Pu-Erh cakes (Tuo Cha), strawberries, pineapple, and sunflower petals.
This is another discontinued tea I’ve been hoarding my last canister of – darn Teavana and their sneaky discontinuing ways. :p
In the tin and in the cup, this one has a nice fruity scent – kind of pineapple-y. While the tuo cha cakes are kind of a pain to break up, I prefer to have a bit of the pu-erh taste in there with the other flavors. The fruit flavor in this is pleasant, but it doesn’t overpower the green tea. I usually do a heaping teaspoon for 8oz, and add a little honey. Yummy!
I LOVE this tea. It just goes to show that different palates abound. I was crushed when I found out Teavana discontinued. For whatever reason, the reviews have always been love/hate. Luckily I found another 8 oz to stash. I think the green rings true and there is a nice fruitiness in the bouquet and aftertaste, but it doesn’t really hit you over the head. I mostly enjoy it as-is, but I suppose you could sweeten the deal with honey or rock sugar.
Sounds delicious!
I adore Nine Treasures as well. Didn’t know it was being discontinued. :( Will have to find a good substitute.
Susan- Sadly they discontinued it in ’09, along with another favorite of mine, Ginger Peach Apricot. :(
The link below is from their blog and lists what they discontinued in ‘09 and some suggested alternatives, but all it says for an alternate is “New Tea coming”, and they don’t seem to have updated their suggestions unfortunately.
