The Tao of Tea, Jade Cloud Green Tea, Loose Leaf contains 100 percent Organic Green Tea Leaves. Sweet aroma similar to magnolia flowers and cucumber. Buttery, smooth, vegetal flavor. Jade Cloud, also known as Wulu, is grown at a high elevation of 1200 meters in the cloud and mist covered mountains of Zhejiang province. The cool mist is ideal for the tea plants to maintain a deep green color and develop a full rounded flavor. Made in early Spring, when the leaves are tender. Tea purists seek only the clean, clear and pure flavor of the leaf. This is because the unadulterated leaf has the capacity to provide an experience which has inspired many artists, musicians, philosophers and monks. Our company is based on this premise and offers great quality leaf that is fresh, flavorful and full of soul. Only a small portion of all tea made in the world comprises the "orthodox" or full leaf style of processing. In addition, only a few tea areas remain where "old-style" hand processing is still practiced from tea plants that grow wild or those that have been preserved for centuries. The Tao of Tea works primarily with tea growers that practice this true art of tea making.
