Everlasting is a greenish Oolong
(SiChiChun cultivar) and Eco farmed (it takes about 3 to 4 years to change
over), it was plucked (picked) and processed the same day. It is lightly
oxidized and tightly rolled in wrapped cloth about 40 times to get the tiny
balls. The owner of the tea garden is Mrs Yang, who strongly believes in Eco
Farming, as her husband died from pesticide poisoning 20 years ago. Located
in Ming Jian, Nantou County in Taiwan.
This has given me the most number of infusions of any tea over
a period of two days.
I rate this as one of the
top 5 teas I have ever tasted.

- 2 ounce bag amkes approximately 16 cups - mutiple infusions

English Tealeaves sells over 125 high quality teas that are "cherry picked" from over 15 suppliers who specialize in specific types and countries. This gives us the flexibility to find the best of the best. We also blend around 8 teas ourselves that can't be obtained to our standards. For example our #1 selling tea, English Breakfast is our own blend that we created in 2002.
Our Cafe customers give feedback and we discontinue the ones that get poor ratings. We also look to improve our teas and will replace a standard tea, like say Mango, with a higher quality blend from another supplier.
The teas are selected after evaluation in these seven areas and then the scores are weighted to decide if they qualify for inclusion in our range:
• Dry leaves appearance
• Dry aroma
• Brewed Infusion Color
• Aroma brewed
• Hot taste
• Iced taste
• After taste
