Purple Bamboo, Oolong Tea

Purple Bamboo, Oolong Tea


Purple Bamboo is one of the most interesting and unique teas produced China. It is an experimental type of oolong tea made with a white tea bush varietal growing on one of our organic-in-conversion farms in Northern Fujian. It has nuances of many different teas yet stands out as one of a kind. The processing of this tea has similarities to Taiwanese Bai Hao Oolong and Fuding Gong Mei White tea. The dry leaf shows a unique and colorful style with a silvery, white, dark green and tippy appearance. One serving of Purple Bamboo can be infused many times and offers deep, complex fruity flavors and floral aromas. The rich mouth feel and upfront and lingering aroma suggests Darjeeling Muscatel, Lilac, Gardenia, Pit Fruit, Grape and Hops. 

Use a porcelain Guywan (see below), or a Ho-hin (see below). Add 1 tablespoon per 8 ounces of water. Infuse with 170°F water for 2-3 minutes. Depending on the amount of tea and the water temperature, you may infuse this tea many more times. Ingredients: Oolong tea. / Origin: Fujian, China $10.50 per ounce.

Spring is right around the corner

Great to be ALIVE!

Now that we've gotten past the Holidays it becomes clear that Spring is right around the corner. The air is crisp today and that is refreshing. Last night there was the most awesome full moon that made things glow throughout the night. All around this place is a kind of beauty that grows on you.  Sometimes it's easy to overlook this reality. It is nice to know that it only takes a moment of looking to see it.  Be glad your in the world.  Just to BE is such a gift. I hope that the New Year is FULL of wonderful moments that make you stop and see the way things really are. I wish for us all a different perspective that from it's perch will give us the ability to see things are not so bad.

What we do is dangerous. We don't do things like your coffee shop...we do it correctly.  We do not apologize for our behavior. We are not particularly mellow.  It's all about the love of a family.  We aim to destroy your perceptions of the truth on all levels.  We fix bike tires and help little old ladies across the street.  We fear but love Zombies.  We believe in 5 dimensions. We craft with Magic. We are GOD.
