"Green Gold": this is what the Georgians called tea. An expression that gives an idea of the preciousness of these leaves: the care and attention with which thisGreen-White Greengold Tea is harvested and prepared indeed generate a special aroma and taste that is difficult to replicate. Its special "green-white" designation comes from its processing: first the leaves are processed as if they were white tea, and then it is finished using the techniques of processing green tea. The liquor has a smooth, silky body with distinct herbal and floral aromas. Delicate and refreshing, this tea is like a gentle caress.

Preparation
We strongly recommend infusing this tea in the traditional Chinese method (Gong Fu Cha) with a gaiwan with a capacity of about 150 ml. Following this preparation, multiple infusions can be made with 5 grams of leaves that are useful to best capture all the flavor nuances of the tea.
Warm the water to a temperature of 80°C and proceed to an initial infusion of 40 seconds. Keeping the water at the same temperature, you can then continue to exploit the same leaves by adding more water and increasing the infusion time by 10 seconds each time (40 - 50 - 60...).
This tea has a longevity of 6-8 infusions.
For a more classic preparation in the Western style, we recommend 3 grams of leaves (about 2 teaspoons) in a 200 ml cup with water at 80°C for an infusion time of 3-5 minutes.
For a better tasting experience, we suggest that you strain the infusion as soon as the infusion time is over. Our suggested infusion times, however, can also be slightly modified to your liking to achieve a more or less intense taste.
We recommend storing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
