Ingredients
Green tea China Gunpowder, Green tea Sencha, 8 % Goji, Lemongrass, Pomegranate flowers, Natural aromaBrew & Taste
Fresh Goji green tea is characterized by the typical taste of green teas, which is complemented by the sweet and sour trace of goji berries and the delicate freshness of lemongrass. The freshness is almost absent, but the tea does not lack rich fruity notes. The infusion is yellow-orange in color and smells of fresh green tea.
Origins
The two green teas we have used in this case come from China. It was there that the story of tea began, supposedly in 2737 BC. Tea containers found by archaeologists in Han Dynasty tombs show that the drink was quite demonstrably enjoyed by people between 206 BC and 220 AD.
One of the oldest ways of preparing tea leaves in China is by rolling. An example is gunpowder (Zhu cha), a tea that looks like tiny balls of gunpowder. Its largest producer is Zhejiang province, where tea plantations are usually tended by smallholders. The tea leaves are left to wilt briefly after harvesting, then roasted in large pans and rolled. Finally, the tea needs to be dried, sorted and packed. Gunpowder is characterized by a bittersweet flavor with a slight trace of smoke.
Sencha, unlike gunpowder, is more of a Japanese tea, but due to high demads, China has taken on part of the production. Nevertheless, its quality is still excellent, as you can see in Fresh Goji tea. The tea is not roasted on pans (which is usual with Chinese varieties), but repeatedly steamed to stop the fermentation. Then the workers translate, dry and sort the leaves. Sencha, like gunpowder, is easy to recognize – it smells and tastes fresh and grassy, and its appearance resembles flat needles.
Now all that remains to be added is a description of goji, the fruit of Lycium chinese plant. They are said to be a superfood and a source of many antioxidants due to their high nutritional value. The orange berries contain mainly vitamin B2, vitamin C and iron (all 100% of the recommended daily dose!), but also potassium, zinc and calcium, fatty acids, carotenoids and linoleic acid. They taste sweet and sour, so they can be eaten raw, but are often added to drinks, porridges or desserts.
