You may well ask, why such a poetic name for a blended tea? Well, how many citrus fruits can you think of that have been immortalized in poetry? We can think of one - Lime. Robert Nichols, a British poet wrote the poem, A sprig of Lime, sometime in 1918. In it he writes of a man whose last dying wish is for just a small sprig of the sweet and sour citrus fruit:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eScarce audible on deepened evening's hush\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHe framed his curious and last request\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor 'lime, a sprig of lime...\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSweet lime that often at the height of noon\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDiffusing dizzy fragrance from your boughs,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTasseled with blossoms more innumerable\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThan the black bees, the uproar of whose toil\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFilled your green vaults...\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003ePoor fellow, had he lived to the present day he would have been able to buy fresh limes to his heart's content. The fruit is now one of the world's most commonly grown citrus fruits. Well, in honor of this poor old chap, we've developed this wonderful green tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe blended the tea using a Sencha style green tea manufactured in Hunan Province in South Eastern China. This variety was chosen because of its smooth, sweetish taste. This tea when cupped has a honey like finish that balances out the natural Lime flavoring beautifully. Interestingly, the smoothness of this Sencha comes from the way it is processed. The green tea leaves are plucked from the same plants as black tea but forgo black tea's fermentation process. Once they are plucked and chosen for green production, the leaves are immediately steamed and bruised either by machine or by hand. They are then pan-fried or basket fired giving the tea its distinctive glossy look and feel. The lack of fermentation, steaming, and firing results in a tea that has a fresh, and lively character. Try this pleasingly astringent tea but once and we're sure\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hunan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan Sencha style\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2500 feet above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pan fired green tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury green tea, Natural dried lemon Peel, Sweet lime pieces, Natural Flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics: \u003c\/strong\u003eLively lime flavor explodes from your cup.

The secret is to use water that is about 180'F or 90'C. Place 1 teaspoon in your cup, let the tea steep for about 3 minutes and then begin enjoying a cup of enchantment - do not remove the leaves from the cup. Once the water level is low - add more water, and so on and so on - until the flavor of the tea is exhausted. Look at the pattern of the leaves, they foretell your fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlternatively as with all top quality teas, scoop 2-4 teaspoons of tea into the teapot, pour in boiling water that has been freshly drawn (previously boiled water has lost most of its oxygen and therefore tends to be flat tasting), steep for 2-4 minutes (to taste), stir (virtually all the leaves will sink), pour into your cup but do not add milk or sugar since green tea is enjoyed straight-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Cold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(to make 1 liter\/quart): Place 6 teaspoons of tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Pour 1 1\/4 cups of freshly boiled water over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher straining the leaves. Add ice and top up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. [A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced tea is to double the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Specialist Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":1223928689,"sku":"1-100","price":10.58,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":1223928693,"sku":"1-250","price":20.58,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":1223928697,"sku":"1-500","price":31.16,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":1223928701,"sku":"1\/1\/1000","price":58.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/3859\/products\/1.jpeg?v=1442449268","url":"https:\/\/coasttocoasttea.ca\/products\/atlantico-lime-green-tea","provider":"Coast To Coast Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
