Our new Handcrafted Teas feature exotic shapes and deep flavors from carefully processed leaves harvested in the mountains of Yunan, including this Golden Earring Tea! Ancient tales speak of a Fairy Lady who blessed a nearby town and was honored in turn by the villagers, who started folding their green tea harvest into the shape of her earrings! In an interesting demonstration of Chinese culture and humor, the Golden Earring allows the tea leaf, subject of whole books of poetry from the Middle Kingdom, to serve as a true jewel or treasure!
