All of Tea Hong’s green teas are non-blended, single batch, single origin, single cultivar full leaf teas harvested from first flush of the year or, in the case of price-efficient selections, still within Spring. It goes without saying that green tea is the category most packed with polyphenols and other health constituents. However, it is our insistence on the taste quality that a harvest can be included in our collection. Read more about the nature of green tea at What is a Green Tea?

Luan Guapian Supreme, traditional green tea
Cold Energy, Green teas, Home, Huangshan - Anhui, Lighter Aromas, Milder Tastes, TeaThe sweetness in a unique bitter green
Unlike other green teas that are prized for plucking early in Spring, leaves of Da Guazi need to be quite grown and spread in order to make a fine Luan Guapian. This gives the proper biochemistry that yields enough pectin for the tea's signature velvety texture and unique bitter character. This is possible only with a special local cultivar — Da Guazi — Big Melon Seed, hence the funny name. Some say it takes enough experience in life for a person to appreciate the bitterness in a food or drink. We think maybe it only takes a person with a truly sensitive taste faculty to understand and prize such a wonderful tea.Net weight: 50 g (1.8 oz) in Kraft-alu pack
