{"product_id":"aged-honeyorchid","title":"(Sent from USA) Best Aged Honey Orchid 50g","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe classic aged Honey Orchid flavors—dried tangerine peel, caramelized honey, and a deep richness that only comes with time. But this one carries along a twist--floral nuances that remain even after 10 years of aging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe started with the best Honey Orchid leaves we have ever tasted—the April 9, 2016 harvest. Following the playbook of one of our current grower’s mothers, we baked the tea only once, then sealed it away in professional storage and left it untouched for 10 years. Even after all that time, the leaves still have remarkable strength to easily go more than 12 brews.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe results were surprising, since the floral notes are normally expected to fade away in an aged Honey Orchid tea. The most reasonable conclusion is that these leaves were simply so full of floral aroma molecules that a portion survived the journey. Another testament to the legend of this remarkable harvest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage: Store unused portions sealed in an airtight bag away from light in the freezer at 5F\/-15C or below. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrewing water: Poland Spring (called Origin Brand in some areas) brand mineral water most closely matches the slightly hard natural spring water on Phoenix Mountain and produces the finest results. Soft water, distilled water and hard water will ruin this tea. Tap water varies wildly and is best avoided as well.

After the first 10 infusions, increase each infusion time by 5 seconds. To produce lighter tea, either decrease amount of tea, increase amount of water or decrease brewing time. To produce stronger tea, either increase amount of tea, decrease amount of water or increase brewing time. You can easily adjust to suit your individual taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes:  Small quick infusions showcase the changing flavors of each cup. Longer brewing times in larger quantities of water end up more homogeneous, but still very good results.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Qi Fine Teas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45622077554884,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2620\/4210\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_2bca056b-49ff-4a81-b20a-389580bcf4ac.jpg?v=1789815177","url":"https:\/\/qifineteas.com\/ru\/products\/aged-honeyorchid","provider":"Qi Fine Teas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
