Chinese Green Tea
A Timeless Tradition of Flavor and Wellness
Green tea, with its rich history and enduring popularity, stands as one of China’s most cherished cultural treasures. As the oldest type of tea, it has been cultivated and enjoyed for thousands of years, embodying the essence of Chinese tea culture. Unlike other teas, green tea is non-oxidized, meaning the leaves are carefully processed shortly after harvesting to preserve their natural freshness, vibrant color, and delicate flavors. This meticulous process ensures that every cup of green tea offers a pure and authentic taste, reflecting the artistry and tradition behind its production.
Globally, green tea is celebrated for its remarkable health benefits. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, it is known to support overall wellness, boost metabolism, and promote relaxation. However, in China, the birthplace of tea, green tea is appreciated not only for its medicinal properties but also for its diverse and nuanced flavors. Each variety of green tea tells a unique story, offering a spectrum of tastes and aromas that range from sweet and floral to rich and vegetal. Whether it’s the delicate notes of Longjing (Dragon Well) or the robust character of Gunpowder tea, green tea provides a sensory journey that captivates both novice drinkers and seasoned connoisseurs alike.

For those new to green tea, we recommend starting with classic varieties like Bi Luo Chun or Mao Feng, which offer a gentle introduction to its flavors. For the adventurous, our collection includes rare and artisanal teas, such as Huangshan Maofeng or Xinyang Maojian, which showcase the depth and complexity of Chinese green tea.
Brewing green tea is an art in itself. To fully appreciate its flavors, we recommend using filtered water heated to around 80°C (176°F) and steeping the leaves for 2-3 minutes. This allows the delicate flavors to unfold without becoming bitter. For a more traditional experience, try brewing your tea in a Gaiwan or glass cup, where you can watch the leaves unfurl and dance in the water — a mesmerizing sight that adds to the enjoyment.
Green tea is more than just a beverage; it’s a celebration of nature, tradition, and craftsmanship.
