Xueju Tea $15 for each guest
Xueju is a rare chrysanthemum like flower native to the northern slopes of the Karakorum Mountains, some 3,000 meters above sea level on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is in this pristine region with its clean air, long sunny days and wide difference between day and night temperatures, watered by the melting Karakorum glaciers that the rich alkaline soil produces this rare Xueju tea. Its use as a beverage by the local Uygur people was only first reported in 2000 when it began to be marketed and cultivated on a small scale.
The tea is gaining recognition for its caffeine free, low tannin and high flavor content. Its chemical composition differs from the normal chrysanthemum, and is considered to have sufficient micro elements and amino acids to inhibit high blood pressure and high blood sugar. With its unique red infusion color, lingering flower scent and unique health benefits, this is one of the rarest flower teas yet to be discovered.
‘The Tea at Tian He is by far the best I have ever tasted. Each time I have been there over the last two years I have enjoyed the tea immensely and been amazed how the flavours remind me of places. After one tea I had the feeling of being at the base of a glorious waterfall. Tian He’s tea is amazing. There is nothing else like it. Every experience of drinking tea at the tea house has been wonderful over the past two years I have been going there.
