Most people think of green tea as grassy and vegetal. This one has a punch of tropical fruit and enough body to pair well with food. Spring Jade is a rolled tea, which means that the withering tea leaves are formed into small balls in round, cloth bundles. The benefit: The leaves unfurl as they steep, creating new layers of flavor just as a wine changes as it opens up. To experience the variations, use a tea strainer and pour yourself a tasting of multiple small cups.

Here's what you get:

  • 3 oz bag of Spring Jade (heirloom organic jade-green tea)
Additional Information

Five Mountains Tea Santikhiri (Hill of Peace), Thai Highlands (Thailand)

Time spent living in Asia's mountain monasteries and adopting the ways of the monastic lifestyle taught the Five Mountains founders about, among other things, sacred tea traditions. They now share their expertise and love of organic, sustainably-harvested teas with the world.

Why We Love It

Technically, Spring Jade is an oolong tea, which means the tea leaves have oxidized at least 30 percent. In practice, that means it's a green tea packed with flavor. To brew the perfect cup, be aware of the three "Ts:" (water) temperature, (steeping) time and total (amount).  Steep one to two teaspoons in eight ounces of 180° water for three to four minutes. The tea is certified organic in the United States as well as the far-stricter European Union and Japan.
