Jade Cloud is een levendige groene thee die we meer dan tien jaar geleden hebben gecreëerd in samenwerking met vakmensen van de Xuan En Organic Yisheng Tea Cooperative in de afgelegen bergen van de provincie Hubei.
This is the tea I keep coming back to all summer—the leaves from that Hubei cooperative are so fresh you can smell the mountain air the moment the bag opens. It steeps up a clear, lively cup that's perfect for iced tea too, and I've already reordered twice.
The first steep released this sweet, almost buttery aroma that filled my whole kitchen — exactly what I hoped for from a tea grown in the Hubei mountains. I've had three cups today and it stays lively without turning bitter, even when I got distracted and let it sit a bit long.
The dry leaves smell like fresh-cut grass, but once steeped it’s this smooth, almost buttery sip with zero bitterness. I’ve been drinking it iced every afternoon since the box arrived, and the fact it’s from a small cooperative in Hubei makes each cup feel a little more special.
