Tea: Moli Xingin Idän aurinko ( The Sun of East) / Forsman Premium
Infusion: 4-10 min in boiling water (no temperature mentioned)

Joyful New Year 2012!

After a short break and Christmas festivities, it's time for tea again.

I have been enjoying its taste as well as beauty.

The Finnish company Forsman Tea has a ”Premium” tea collection which includes

this Moli Xing's 'Idän aurinko' (that is in Finnish meaning the Sun of the East) tea flower.

It is a green jasmine tea with silver needles aromatized with jasmine flowers, neatly tied

together. The flower reminds of the sun as it opens up when infused. This tea needs definitely

a clear tea glass where you can see the beauty in action.

It is adviced to let it infuse for 4-10 minutes in boiling water.

'A breath of Asia is reaching the cold and windy land far away

sending greetings, stories not been heard in this part of the world before

The sun of the east widening its rays

tempting one to be brave and explore the unknown!'
