A hearty, strong, Organic Green Tea that is tightly rolled in the shape of small pinhead pellets. Special grade tea refers to the selection of the  best quality leaves which are then rolled into the shape of an even tighter pinhead than the regular grade. Originally rolled tightly to preserve freshness and maintain moisture during long voyages overseas, it still holds true as an unsurpassable fresh tea. Because of its tightly rolled leaf, it has a great shelf life.
 
It is a classic, bold and unforgettable tea with a striking taste and crisp, clear flavor.
 
Daily serving size: Pour 8-12 oz of simmering water (180° F preferred) over 1 tsp. of tea. Steep 2-3 minutes.
