This cocoalicious recipe uses a very special green tea — Snowy Mountain Jian. This tea is grown at high altitudes in the Yunnan Province of China. Although a green tea, this tea is processed a bit differently than other green teas – giving it a more full body flavor somewhat similar to black teas. Please note, you can use any green tea (or even black) you like.
