Quiet Spring green tea, known as An Ji Bai Cha (or "An Ji White Tea") is a rare and exquisite green tea from Anji County in Zhejiang, China. Despite its name, which refers to the pale color of the fresh leaves and the light, silvery appearance of the brew, this tea is crafted using traditional green tea production methods, firmly classifying it as a green tea. Renowned for its vibrant freshness and unique flavor profile, this tea delivers a smooth, full-bodied experience with nuanced layers of flavor.
Flavor Profile
Quiet Spring Green opens with a fresh, grassy aroma reminiscent of wet, freshly cut grass after a summer rain. The tea’s body is smooth and medium-weight, offering subtle notes of plantain and sweet moss dew. Hints of yellow straw and a touch of green bell pepper lend complexity to the cup, while a low-to-moderate astringency balances the overall profile, making it both refreshing and satisfying.
A Unique Green Tea Experience
This tea is celebrated for its light, invigorating character and its ability to capture the essence of nature in every sip. Perfect for quiet mornings or reflective afternoons, this tea invites you to savor its layers and enjoy its tranquil, grounding qualities.
Ingredients
Hand-plucked Chinese Green Tea.
Brewing Instructions
8 oz Cup
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of tea into infuser.
- Heat water to 200° F (boiling).
- Pour 8 oz. of water over tea leaves.
- Steep tea for 4-5 minutes (depending on taste preference).
- Remove infuser and enjoy tea. Can be steeped multiple times.
Potful
Simply add to your infuser one heaping teaspoon of leaf per 8 oz. of water and place it in your pot, then add the appropriate amount of 200° F water and let it steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the infuser and enjoy. Can be steeped multiple times.
Brewing Iced Tea
Our opinion is that a cooled concentrate works best, as regular-strength brew tends to become watery as the ice melts. So, use the above leaf quantities, but half the water, allow it to cool, then pour it over ice and enjoy! The brew will dilute down to proper strength as the ice melts.
