"This is the first Basket Fired box we have come across  in 45 years collecting&lt;BR&gt;\r\n&lt;BR&gt;\r\nDIMENSIONS:&lt;BR&gt;\r\n22.5 inches in HEIGHT&lt;BR&gt;\r\n18 inches in DEPTH&lt;BR&gt;\r\n17 inches in WIDTH&lt;BR&gt;\r\n&lt;BR&gt;\r\nIt was necessary to GOOGLE : \"BASKET FIRED\"\r\n&lt;BR&gt;\r\nHere is a brief description of a basket fired.&lt;BR&gt;\r\n&lt;BR&gt;\r\nChina Artisan Style Basket-Fired Green Tea &lt;BR&gt;\r\n&lt;BR&gt;\r\nTo begin the processing of basket fired green tea, a small amount of fresh&lt;BR&gt;\r\nleaf (about 2 lbs.) is placed in an upright bamboo or reed basket, usually &lt;BR&gt;\r\nmade of two pieces, resembling an hour glass.  The upper part of the basket that is &lt;BR&gt;\r\n heated usually deteriorates after two or so days and is replaced. &lt;BR&gt;\r\nThe tea leaf firing basket is between two to four feet tall, with the top&lt;BR&gt;\r\nportion looking like an over size cone-shaped hat with a wide brim.  After&lt;BR&gt;\r\nthe initial drying the leaf is placed in the top part and the entire basket is&lt;BR&gt;\r\nplaced over the heat source, usually a small brazier or charcoal embers.&lt;BR&gt;\r\nThe heat needs to be low enough not to burn the bamboo basket.&lt;BR&gt;\r\n&lt;BR&gt;\r\nThe basket is placed over the heat for about a minute before being removed,&lt;BR&gt;\r\n placed off to the side while the tea master \"fluffs\" the tea by gently tapping&lt;BR&gt;\r\n the basket causing the tea to jump about and be tossed.\r\n&lt;BR&gt;\r\nThe basket is then placed over the heat for another minute, then removed &lt;BR&gt;\r\nand fluffed. This process of heating and fluffing is repeated for about &lt;BR&gt;\r\n15 to 20 minutes.&lt;BR&gt;\r\n&lt;BR&gt;\r\nOnce the proper amount of moisture has been removed from the leaf, it is&lt;BR&gt;\r\n taken from the basket and piled on bamboo mats on the floor. Here the&lt;BR&gt;\r\n tea will rest and air dry and be added to other similarly processed leaf,&lt;BR&gt;\r\n ready for the final firing and sorting.&lt;BR&gt;\r\n&lt;BR&gt;\r\nOne popular tea made with basket firing is Bi Lo Chun or Green Snail &lt;BR&gt;\r\nSpring, a famous green tea from China's Jiangsu Province.&lt;BR&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
