Product Description
-------------------
Enjoyed for centuries since the Tang Dynasty, powder Green
Tea is a prized traditional export of China. Superior quality
green tea leaves are tightly rolled into tiny pearls and dried
over wood fires, taking on a subtle smokiness in the process.
Ahmad Tea’s powder Supreme Green is our finest powder
expression, rich with the characteristic sweetness of fresh
summer grass and the subtle smokiness of smouldering oak. It’s a
superior blend that every green tea lover should experience. This
style of tea gets its name from the -like appearance of the
rolled tea leaves. It’s renowned for its full-bodied flavour and
is stronger than many green teas. ‘powder’ became a popular
tea processing method as rolling the pellets locks in the flavour
and aromas, releasing them again once they’re steeped in hot
water. The tea also proved robust when being shipped, in
comparison to other whole leaf teas. This made distribution
across the continents easier, with traders safe in the knowledge
that their tea would arrive with its quality intact. powder
tea is now enjoyed all over the world. In North Africa it’s
served ceremoniously with lashings of sugar and fresh mint.
Elsewhere it’s popular as a brisk, refreshing cuppa brewed with
just hot water. To create this superior infusion, our Tea Masters
source the youngest, largest leaves from the Zhejiang province of
China. It’s only these high-quality leaves that can withstand the
‘powder’ process of withering, steaming, rolling and then
fire-drying. Ahmad Tea’s powder Supreme Green is our finest
edition of this popular tea. We ensure the tea leaves are rolled
extra tightly and are darker and more polished than our standard
powder. This results in a stronger, yet more subtle and
complex green tea once brewed. It creates a deliciously bright
infusion with prominent summer grass and background smoky notes.
Enjoy a cup throughout a day, perhaps with a slice of lemon to
complements the tea’s flavour. While powder tea’s rolling
process locks in flavour, we also foil-wrap this large leaf blend
to ensure it reaches you as fresh as the day it was dried. We
recommend brewing the tea in hot water around at 85°C. This
ensures the natural goodness of the tea is preserved, without any
bitterness being drawn out. Simply pour freshly boiled water into
your cup or pot and leave it for two to three minutes before
adding the tea, or use a kettle with variable temperature
setting. Watch as the pearls unfurl in your cup and steep into a
pretty honey-coloured infusion. Not only does it boast a rich
green tea flavour, our powder Supreme is also packed with
antioxidants and is known to aid y digestion, making it a
wonderfully restorative, soothing infusion. It’s a great
afternoon or evening brew, or try it iced on hot summer days.
Simply add a little sugar to a strong powder Supreme infusion,
then dilute with chilled water and ice. Add lemon and a sprig of
mint to create a refined iced tea refresher ideal served by the
jug-full in the afternoon sunshine. Ahmad Tea is a family-run

Directions
----------
Step 1: Warm the teapot with hot water. Having a cold teapot
will cool the water so the tea won’t brew properly. Give the
water a little swirl around and then pour it away. Step 2: Use a
teaspoon or tea measure to scoop the loose tea into the teapot.
We recommend one teaspoon per person and one extra teaspoon for
the pot. Step 3: Fill your kettle with freshly drawn water and
bring it to the boil. Step 4: Pour the water straight onto the
tea and pop a tea cosy over the pot to keep it as hot as
possible. Leave for a minimum of four minutes to help it brew
properly. Step 5: Give the pot a quick stir to mix it up a little
bit and then serve. Add milk, lemon or sugar and enjoy your cup
of Ahmad Tea.
