Just be careful when you drink chinese tea.

Pesticide pollution: Chinese tea may not be safe to drink
Drinking tea is an essential and much cherished part of Chinese culture. It's the pride of the nation, so to speak, and this tea is exported to around the globe. But is China's tea actually safe to drink?
A few months ago we bought 18 tea products at random from nine tea companies in China, andafter sending the samples to be tested discovered that a whopping 12 of the 18 samples contained at least one pesticide banned for use on tea. Pesticides like methomyl and endosulfan, the latter of which has been banned globally under the Stockholm Convention due to its toxic properties.

Premium Japanese Green Tea

Introduction to SHINCHA
Shincha is packaged in limited quantities only once per year immediately after the spring harvest. It holds a special place in the hearts and palates of the Japanese people who enjoy drinking quality tea.

The Ohashiri Shincha is an artisan tea in the truest sense that is the earliest picked spring tea from very young buds. It provides subtle flavors that engender thoughtful contemplation. Ohashiri Shincha is a tea that should be lingered over in a most relaxed manner in order to discover its full meaning. It is an excellent choice for gift presentation.

Gyokuro Collection (Japanese Green Tea)


What's GYOKURO?
Gyokuro is admired as the highest grade of Japanese green tea. Its leaves are grown in the shade for twenty days before being expertly picked by hand. Then they are immediately steamed, dried and carefully rolled into distinctive shapes resembling pine needles. Gyokuro is harvested only once a year in the early spring. The delicate flavor and slightly sweet aftertaste make Gyokuro the choice of green-tea connoisseurs.

I went to Purple Cane, Queenbay Mall. It seems like this store is slightly better than Lao Ba Cha in term of sales tactic and strategy.

Saw some white tea. Any good ideas about this tea?

White tea is a lightly oxidized tea grown and harvested primarily in China, mostly in the Fujian province.[1] More recently it is grown in Taiwan, India, Northern Thailand and Eastern Nepal.
White tea comes from the buds and leaves of the Chinese Camellia sinensis plant. The leaves and buds are allowed to wither in natural sunlight before they are lightly processed to prevent oxidation or further tea processing.
The name "white tea" derives from the fine silvery-white hairs on the unopened buds of the tea plant, which gives the plant a whitish appearance.[2] The beverage itself is not white or colourless but pale yellow.

It should brew at 70-80 degree celcius for 3 min.

I tried with 1 min. The taste is too light.

Preparation

Merchants selling Japanese green tea typically recommend a unique method for brewing gyokuro which differs from typical tea brewing:

use twice the weight in dry tea leaves for a given quantity of water (e.g. 6 to 10 grams for 180 ml, or 2 to 3 heaping teaspoons for 2 small cups);

use a lower brewing temperature (in the range of 50°C–60°C (122°F–140°F) instead of 65°C–75°C (149°F–167°F) for sencha; for high-end Gyokuro such as National tea jury rank, a temperature of 40°C (104°F) is recommended.);
a longer steeping duration, at least for the first infusion (90 seconds instead of 1 minute for sencha).

Since gyokuro is typically steeped at such a low temperature, sources may recommend preheating both the pot and cup to maintain the warmth of the tea as one drinks it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyokuro
Even for normal Japanese green tea 80C is not recommended, as the tea will turn yellow upon 1-2 brews, taste horrible.  shakehead.gif

80C only suitable for partly fremented tea like Wu Long, tie kuan ying, shui xian.

Hope this help.  tongue.gif

Little sharing on Green Tea:
Camellia Sinensis
All teas come from the same plant: the Camellia sinensis. What sets Japanese green tea apart from the others is how it is processed.
Instead of beginning with a drying process, Japanese green tea is made by immediately steaming freshly picked tea leaves. This prevents fermentation and is thought to inactivate potentially harmful enzymes while leaving the healthy antioxidants intact. These antioxidants, called polyphenols, account for the asserted medical benefits of green tea. See the benefit points at right.
