Gorgeous

Such a lovely sweet flavour. The more times you brew the better it gets. Don't leave it seeping for too long though, otherwise it tastes bitter. Lovely tea.

Excellent staple green tea

This, along with the RTC long jing, is my staple daily tea and has been for many years now. It's fairly strong for a green tea, with a rounded, grassy, fresh flavour. There's none of the astringency associated with a lot of lower quality green tea, and you can get 2 good brews from the same leaves.

My Go-to Green Tea

I really enjoy this tea. It's fresh and earthy at the same time, and does two rounds of infusion. Have bought a few times!

Delicious tea!

This tea is extremely smooth, subtle and pleasant to drink. It has a lovely, fresh aroma and silky mouthfeel - one of the best green teas I've ever had. I would definitely recommend this tea!!

A green tea revelation

I’ve been enjoying the Chinese green tea for several months, I was looking for a green tea that is light and not bitter and this is it. It’s my morning habit 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.

Cost Per Cup

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.
