Wonderful tea

Love this tea. Such a pristine pure flavour, very light, subtly refreshing and uplifting. Can make several pots too. Will order again and it makes a great gift for tea-loving friends.

Delicious

I really enjoy this green tea, a good flavour especially when made with 70 degree hot water. So glad to be able to buy refills

I mean, amazing.

This tea just seems to get better year after year. It's a touch fruity, almost sweet, very refreshing and delicious. Gives you an energy lift without a crash and genuinely puts you in a good mood. Would probably convert people who think they hate green tea as the difference between this and standard green tea is huge. Thank you Rare Tea Company for bringing us the good stuff!

The best!

I’ve been purchasing this green tea for several years via Ocado. Prior to that I’d tried many others but they all left me feeling nauseous! I’d almost given up but chanced upon this and haven’t looked back. I like my green tea on the weaker side and this is so palatable. Consistently good. Not at all bitter…just a lovely easy to drink tea. Wouldn’t buy any other now.

Tasting Notes

The flavours are clean and bright with notes of fresh spinach and pea pods, complemented by a smooth, silky mouth feel.

Quantity

Use 2g of tea per 150ml of water.

Temperature

For the optimum infusion use 70°C (158°F) water.

Time

Infuse for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.

Infusions

You can infuse this tea at least twice. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.

22p per cup based on 2g of tea per 150ml of water and 2 infusions.

China

Anshun, Guizhou

Our phenomenal Green Whole Leaf comes from the Anshun area of Guizhou in the South West of China. The area is remote and largely unspoilt with abundant forests and cloud cover draping the mountains - making it the ideal terroir for tea.
