Three Cups Fragrance (San Bei Xiang)

Three Cups Fragrance Tea is named for the 3 wonderful infusions the leaves traditionally offer. Using a pan-firing method called “San Bei Xiang”, it results in leaves in various shades of dark green and, at times, almost a silver-gray appearance. A traditional green made in both Fujian and Zhejiang Provinces, it offers a nuanced taste that is both sweet and strong. The tea maker works the leaves in the wok to sharpen the naturally sweet and pungent notes of the cultivar. Our 2022 lot is known as “GuYu” harvest as it was plucked in the second week of April, 2022.
