The story behind the Jasmine Silver Heart is a wonderful romantic tale, look at the night sky and the constellation called Aquila (in China it is the Cowherd) and then to the Milky Way (in China it is the Silver River) in there is a star known as the Weaving Maid. The seventh daughter of the Mythical Jade Emperor was the weaving Maid.

Name PEREGRINE 1st FLUSH MOUNTAIN Description PEREGRINE 1ST FLUSH MOUNTAIN The Background - Peregrine 1st Flush Mountain is an extremely rare and quite delicious black tea from Yunnan Province. The forested wild hills of Yunnan are home to the magnificent Peregrine Falcons and in some of the remote mountain villages Peregrines are revered as a sacred and spiritual bird, and wonderful legends regarding them flourish, so naturally since Yunnan is also where to some of the world’s finest tea are grown there is wonderful fable in which a tea owes its existence to the Peregrine falcon! The Fable of Peregrine 1st Flush Mountain................. A young boy was out hunting rabbits above his village, and as he ventured up the steep forested slopes higher than ever before, he came across a falcon caught in a scare – in those days it was customary for the aristocrats to keep Peregrine Falcons for hunting and as the boy examined the scare he found it had the great mark of a fierce local warlord. So the boy realised he faced a dilemma, rescue the bird and set it free or face certain death if he action was discovered by the warlord. Whilst deep in thought a sudden sharp wind whisked through the forest carrying the cry of this falcon, it said “if you release me from this trap, I will show a great field of undiscovered tea bushes which will make an amazing new variety of tea and this will make you rich enough to pay your tributes to the warlord and more besides”, at this the boy released the bird and true to the Peregrine Falcon’s word lead him to this remarkable new tea. Tasting Notes Over the years this extraordinary tea has come to be regarded as one of the best produced in Yunnan, it is manufactured during the spring Flush and is graded as TGFOP Special (Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe Special) - the cup overflows with vivacious maltiness and brews a beautiful golden coppery colour infusion.

Recipe Title HOW TO MAKE ICED LEMON TEA Recipe Details HOW TO MAKE ICED lemon TEA 1. Brew a teapot of delicious tea, and for lemon ice tea I suggest a combination of SHERSTON TEA COMPANY’s China White Monkey (3 teaspoons) & ASSAM TGFOP2 (1 teaspoon) per large teapot. See below for brewing instructions GREEN TEA To make Green tea boil water and leave to cool for around 1-2 minutes or use water at 158F - 70C. Boil always freshly drawn water either from tap or once it has been through a filter as if you use water that has already been boiled in a kettle it reduces the oxygen content in the water. The warm cup method is very good for making Green Tea, as you are less likely to find the tea is bitter with this method, as the amino acids that give the tea its flavour dissolve at a lower temperature than the tannin and the tea will taste sweeter. It is really important not to let the tea brew for over 3 minutes or to leave the leaves in the teapot. It is possible to use the leaves again but you must take out all the water and fill the teapot again with fresh water. As a guide infuse 1-2 teaspoons of Green Tea per cup for up to 2 -3minutes depending on the strength you enjoy. Take care not to pour boiling water on to the leaves as this will scald the leaves and stop the leaves from releasing their flavour and damage the delicate fla-vour. It is important for the leaves to open and release the delicate aromas and taste, drink immediately and do not let the tea over infuse as it can become strong and slightly bitter if left too long. BLACK TEA To make Black tea boil water and leave to cool for 30 sec -1 minute or use water at 203F - 95C. Take care not to pour actual boiling water on to the leaves as this will scald the leaves and damage the flavour. It is important to use good fresh filtered water and to allow time for the leaves to infuse releasing their fragrance and flavour, after pouring (it can be a benefit to use porcelain cups or mugs) drink immediately and do not let the tea over infuse as this can make the taste too strong and slightly bitter. Use either the warm cup or two tea pot methods as described for White Tea, you can use the leaves to brew a second pot but will have subtle changes in taste and aroma As a guide infuse 1-2 teaspoons per cup for up to 3 - 4mins for depending on the strength you enjoy. Can be drunk with milk and sugar but if you are using a good single estate or first /second flush or a black tea which is flavoured with fruit or flowers then drinking it without milk is highly recommended. 2. Infuse for 3-4 minutes 3. Remove tea leaves 4. Allow to cool 5. Pour tea into a large jug and add 4 teaspoons of sugar, honey or sweetener to taste 6. Add 3- 4 sliced fresh lemons. 7. Pour over 2 cups cool filtered water. This water should be added to taste as it will dilute the taste. 8. Chill in the refrigerator Serve in a tall glass with ice cubes and garnished with a lemon slice drink and enjoy! www.sherstontea.com PDF Click here to open PDF Product Categories Iced tea Gift packs Hampers Internet trader Mail order Own label Additional Recipe Criteria Free From – Fat Free From – Gluten Free From – Artificial ingredients Free From – Lactose and/or dairy Free From – Nuts Non-British
