Green Tea – Any variety of Camellia sinensis that undergoes a process of firing or steaming immediately after plucking. This stops any enzyme action or oxidation of the leaves. The taste or character of green tea is heavily determined by the choice of clonal plant used, time of plucking, shoot maturity, geographic and weather conditions and cultivation method.
The G. S. Haly Co. offers a variety of green teas from classic Chinese and Japan greens to more exotic Formosa and Darjeeling greens. We also have decaffeinated, flavored and scented green teas.

Lung Ching translated means Dragon's Well. The legend of its name comes from a story around 250 AD when the farmers of the Hangzhou region had been praying for rain and discovered a dragon lurking near a spring in the hills. They implored the dragon to come to their rescue. Instantly, clouds came rushing in from all sides and poured forth timely rain. On this account, the temple adjoining the spring is known as Dragon's Well Monastery, and the tea derives its name from the same legend. The finest Lung Ching is produced only near the beautiful West Lake of Hangzhou. The leaf is remarkably flat and smooth and is slick to the touch.

Tea enriched with the fragrance of jasmine flowers has been a favorite since the Sung Dynasty, about 800 years ago. Dragon Phoenix Pearl gets its name from the visual characteristics of the tea bushes "climbing" the hillsides like a Dragon coming out of the water. The tea is grown in an area in Fuding City near the border of the Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. The area is mountainous and is often shrouded in clouds or fog. The tea is picked in April/May and processed by hand by rolling each leaf and a bud into tiny pearl size balls. Once rolled, the tea is wrapped in silk mesh and dried by fire to set the form. The tea is then held until August/September when the finest jasmine blossoms are in bloom. The jasmine flowers are picked before noon and set-aside until evening when the petals begin to open in the cool night air. Once open, the "marrying" of the jasmine to the tea happens in two applications after which the jasmine petals are removed. According to analysis done by Chinese researchers, Dragon Phoenix Pearl has a higher concentration of Vitamin C and Amino Acids than other teas. This is unquestionably one of the finest jasmines shipped from the port of Fuzhou.5202 Jasmine - Yin Hao Origin: Fujian, China
Case Weight: 11 lbs

Scented: Yes
Jasmine tea is the oldest of all scented teas. Its base is a Pouchong tea, slightly less oxidized than oolong tea. As the tea is being dried with hot air, fresh Jasmine petals are placed in front of the fans. When the petals fragrance has been exhausted, the spent petals are placed in the base tea. Contrary to popular belief, the finest, sweetest grades contain fewer petals. The world's finest Jasmines come from the China province of Fujian. The cup has a smooth fragrance of a garden in bloom, with a liquor that is lightly sweet and very smooth. This 1st Grade Jasmine is a rare sweet treat.5221 Jasmine Origin: Fuzhou, China
