Hand picked at dawn, Basilur’s handmade green tea uses only the first two leaves and bud to avoid astringency. After two pan firings, hand-rolling, and a 3-hour claypot resting period, it is finished with a final pan firing and baking. While normal green tea has a polyphenol range of 17-21%, Basilur’s green tea has a remarkable 2728% delivering higher health benefits.
