Hawaii Rainforest Tea is a preservation in a Big Island Ohia tree forest. Farmer Bob Jacobson is proud of his farm's diverse microbe ecology which he says plays a big part in his tea's unique character. The farm sits on lava topped with 4-6" of mulch. Only four varietals of Camellia sinensis are grown for production. These include bohea, benikaori, yutakamidori and yabukita. A blend of these is processed to make a delicate white tea. All growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, and marketing is done at the farm where the grower lives.

How To Brew

Use 2 grams (2 tablespoons dried tea leaves) for 8 fl. oz. water in your favorite teapot or infuser (use bottled drinking water for best flavor, let boil and steep at 180F). Steep for 2 minutes. Leaves may be infused at least 3 times.

These are suggested brewing instructions. We encourage you to experiment and share your own brewing methods as you continue to grow in the tea culture. If you're new to tea this is a good way to start.
