Chinese green teas are available in an almost infinite range of style and price. At the low end, refreshing and highly affordable teas can be found with surprising quality, and the top grades reflect thousands of years of refinement to what can only be considered an art form. Because Chinese greens are delicate, they should be infused with water that is below the boiling point. Our conventional and organic loose leaf Chinese green tea comes in a wide variety of flavors such as jasmine, white monkey pekoe, Lung Ching, and more.

Pre-Chingming Gu Zhang Mao Jian
Hunan province has an auspicious history of producing superior green teas and this early spring harvest carries on that tradition. Bold, handcrafted leaves, threaded with downy silver tips, steep a pale yellow-jade liquor with a fresh vegetal aroma that hints of melon. This Pre-Chingming cup is silky smooth with gentle vegetal notes complemented by a light toastiness. Sweet hints of sugarcane bloom and linger long into the crisp finish.

Yunnan Green Snail
Dark olive-green leaves have been rolled into tight spiral shapes to create this premium green snail tea offering from Yunnan province. An aroma reminiscent of sweet tobacco imparts an interesting counterpoint to the classic fruity flavor profile of a Yunnan green tea. The mouth feel is full and buttery smooth with a lingering finish that whispers of spice. This premium selection is the perfect choice for those looking for a less vegetal Chinese loose leaf green tea.

Jasmine Yin Zhen
