One thing is certain: the awesome presence of the restless monster the led to the creation of this tea.
An artisan who lived near the volcano, upon feeling tremors, decided to appease the rumbling mountain in order to save his skin and his business. He began working with what local produce was available; Amaranth, Hibiscus and Lavender, believing their roots in the region’s volcanic soil would lend power to his creation.
He tied in with an exceptional, wiry-leafed green tea grown in one of Yunnan’s finest gardens. His technique was to tie the flowers into the tea while it was still damp so that as the leaves dried, the blooms would become trapped. The artisan believed that concealing the floral burst within the tea would spiritually represent his hope that the volcano’s lava would be forever trapped within the mountain’s rocky shell. And guess what? It worked. The Volcano has never erupted since.
The cup is light with notes of grass layered with distinct floral tones and notes of lemon, with a sublime rounded nature that's stunning to look at and the same to drink, why not treat yourself and your friends to a stunning cup of tea in some of our stylish glassware?
