Master's Green

As one of our wild picked teas, Master's Green shows patrons what green tea is like without all the common down sides of modern, mass produced green tea. When adventurers take the risk and try Master's Green, they report surprise about not tasting the bitter, despite having forgotten it in the gaiwan; they don't get the jitters; and they don't end up lightheaded, which they usually associate with the caffeine in tea. 

Considered by Tea Master Lin's family the "ancestor of all green teas", this is the very tea that inspired Rui to have founded Grass People Tree and to share the stories and benefits of this ancient practice.

Master's Green is picked at 1200-1400m elevation, from 400 - 600 year old, Pan Yin Mountain trees that are in Qian Xi Nan, Guizhou, China. 

In general, the Tea Tavern ships products using reused, recyclable, and or biodegradable materials. Grass People Tree also have similar goals when packaging their teas. The tea bags are packaged with paper that is specially-made for tea, biodegradable,  and free from bleach and chemicals. It uses loose fibres to protect the teas from moisture and odors to help travel and continuously age well.

Why buy from the Tea Tavern, instead of directly from Grass People Tree? 
The Tea Tavern and Grass People Tree have a partnership due to aligned goals in teaching people about and distributing tea. The Tea Tavern's patrons usually live in the western hemisphere, and Grass People Tree is in the Eastern hemisphere. As a result, patrons of the Tea Tavern will likely have smaller shipping fees; will arrive sooner, due to proximity; and will  support the Tea Tavern's brew masters who educate people how to prepare the tea, locally.

Gaiwan Notes: The standard method of brewing can be used, except use of 4 grams of leaves, since wild teas tend to have a stronger, more persistent flavor than most other teas. We tend to notice a lightly grassy and floral flavor, that we most prefer to have with Autumn water when we want to further reduce the grassy flavors.
