Created by Daniel Hong, Apollo is a blend of one-bud, two-leaf pick of the Huang Jin Gui and Qing Xin Da Mao cultivars growing at approximately 2,300 feet. The Qing Xin Da Mao cultivar is mostly known for producing Taiwan Oriental Beauty and lends more body to the blend. Huang Jin Gui, famous for its aroma, does exactly that here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt gets its name from the Chinese words 阿婆罗 “Apo Luo” which means 'old woman\/to collect or gather.'  Daniel said “…the pickers are all old cute women.\" The Chinese name is to honor them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea was not planned and is the product of multiple coincidences. The Sun Bay Tea Garden gets its name from its ability to receive that first light of morning sun. It is traditional wisdom that this helps warm the land quicker after that cool nights and helps the plants grow better, especially in rocky soil. Daniel was meeting with the garden owner and they stopped to look at the Huang Jin Gui plants. The garden owner then received a phone call cancelling their booking of the material scheduled to be picked from those plants that day. Daniel offered to help and bought the tea instead. The drought of 2022 drastically reduced the output, so the quantity was small enough, the day was sunny, and he took the risk. But by the time picking had finished the sun was gone and the quality of the leaf had been affected by the drought. Adjustments had to be made. The oxidation of the leaf was deliberately cut short to allow for some transformative room later in the process. He pan-fired the leaves, wrapped them up in bamboo cloth, and facilitated a series of second-stage fermentations to balance the preservation of strength and mouthfeel while removing grassy aromas. Tea is just a series of decisions made in the moment. There will never be another one like this again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eblack tea\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSteeping Instructions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 grams | 10-12 oz water | 212°F | Steep 5 min.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraditional Steeping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 grams in a 150ml gaiwan (or teapot), use boiling water and steep as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 second rinse (discard this steep)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSteep – 25 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSteep – 20 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\u003csup\u003erd\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSteep – 45 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSteep – 90 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSteep – 3 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Or steep it however you want)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Cups\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 oz makes 19 cups, 4 oz makes 38 cups\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TeaSource","offers":[{"title":"2 ounce","offer_id":45190908510520,"sku":"37662","price":21.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4 ounce","offer_id":45190908543288,"sku":"37664","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/8900\/files\/3766_Apollo_web.jpg?v=1684173008"},{"product_id":"gamblers-luck-black-tea","title":"Gambler's Luck | Black Tea","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe strong body and stoic face of this tea can barely conceal the exhilaration of its aromatic sweetness at heart.

It comes from Tieguanyin plants growing at approximately 1,100 feet in Pingyuan County of Guangdong Province – a highly unusual place to grow and produce Tieguanyin oolong, which is native to Anxi County of Fujian Province. The material came from an abandoned organic tea field that hadn’t produced anything for 12 years. To prepare the fields for production, the bushes were pruned and the tall grasses were cut, hoping this would re-awaken the plants. The yield was low, so the plants are still sluggish, but the results are outstanding.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2oz is approximately 11 pieces, 4oz is approximately 22 pieces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Tieguanyin?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exact translation for Tieguanyin is “Iron Goddess of Mercy” and the loose pronunciation is “tee-uh-gwon-yin.” By definition, these teas are made from the Tieguanyin cultivar. Anxi County is its home. It gets its name from Guanyin, the Buddhist bodhisattva of compassion, an important figure in both Chinese Buddhism and folk religion. The farmer and scholar Wang Si Nang gets credit for identifying and propagating this cultivar, which is famously difficult to work with, but possesses great potential.
