Both the tea and the fruit we've flavored it with have been used to honor visitors for thousands of years. Mangoes which have been grown throughout the Eastern world since before recorded history have variously been served at weddings placed before shrines even had their leaves woven and hung from doorknobs the way people in the west hang Christmas wreathes. Many of these hospitable customs also extend into the Americas where it is believed mangoes were first planted by early Jesuit missionaries who had spent time in the East. White tea has a long history of hospitality as well. In fact the Japanese tea ceremony one of world's most intricate has its roots in a Chinese Song Dynasty ceremony based on an early form of white tea. Unfortunately the exact details of the early ceremony have largely faded into the tea-steam of history. What is known is that the ceremony was so important that when tea was unavailable it was conducted with boiling water only. Hosts would serve their guests the boiled water and carry on as though tea were used. The intricate ceremony was brought to Japan by traveling monks and later developed into the highly stylized ceremony of today. (Interestingly in some parts of China boiled water is still referred to as Boiled White Water in reference to the tea-less version of the tea ceremony.) To make a long story short if you have people coming over this is the jar to reach for. The flavor is delicate and round with light honey notes deep hits of mango and a lightly astringent finish. Thankfully we've secured a great supply for all your special occasions! (Hint: Makes a fabulous dietary aid when served with imaginary sandwiches!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fu-ding Fujian Province\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pai Mu Tan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2000-4000 feet above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e White Tea Naturally withered\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury white tea Natural flavors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ever had a ripe tropical mango picked within 5 minutes of perfection?
