Pan fried, hand rolled green tea from Beverly Wainwright and the ladies at Amba.
Beverly Wainwright of Amba Estate turned her had to making an artisan green tea, learning from scratch with help and advice from experts in China and Hong Kong. The process is very labour intensive, as Beverly explains: “we can only put 250 g of withered leaf into our pan at any one time as a maximum, otherwise the quality drops. The processing of that 250 g takes getting on for an hour which includes first panning, cooling and rolling followed by second panning. On top of that we then finish it in our dryer to ensure moisture content is even.” The result is a green tea unlike any other, sweet and smooth. Let us know what you think!
