Young Tea Buds from Yunnan is as natural as tea comes. From the plant to your cup with only the most tender preparation involved. Grown in the hills of China this tea retains a lot of the moisture from the air. That paired with the preparation process gives this tea surprisingly high levels of antioxidants.
Every tea has a recommended time to steep. This is for two reasons. 1. To make sure you are getting the optimal amount of nutrients out of the tea itself. 2. To make sure you are getting the full flavor of the tea without steeping it too long which causes a bitter taste sometimes.
