Overview
The crown of the Cascade Mountains in Washington State is Mt. Rainier. When the conditions are just right the rising or setting sun creates a shadow of Mt, Rainier on the clouds. It is a rare event, but part of the magic and mystery of the Pacific Northwest. This tea is meant to embrace that magic to share with you. This is a lovely shou puerh tea blend that really has a magical essence to it. It has your standard shou puerh earthiness but there's something more. This is a pressed 200g cake made from a custom blend of shou puerh tea. Brewing Instructions Use 5-10 grams of leaves and brew with 75-150ml ( 2.5-5oz ) of water at or near boiling. Rinse once for a few seconds. Start with quick steeps under 10s. With each re-steep adjust the steep time to your taste.
