Shop - Green Teas - Chinese Green Tea
Chinese green tea provides a light and invigorating refreshment. It is paler in colour and sweeter in flavour than its Japanese counterpart, by virtue of its mode of production. As Japanese green tea is steamed to halt the process of fermentation, so Chinese green tea is pan roasted. This gives it a distinctively mild, rich, quality that sets it apart from the grassier Japanese varieties.
The Chinese emperor Shen Nong is thought to have discovered Chinese green tea in around 2700 B.C. Since then, it has evolved to become one of the most popular drinks in China - and the rest of the world.
The uniquely-flavoured Gu Zhang Mao Jian, and the top-quality Snow Pi Lo Chun Organic, are exquisite varieties of Chinese green tea. The delicate China Lilac, with its hand-twisted buds, is another exceptional example. We also stock a wonderful range of flavoured Chinese green teas, including the award-winning Jasmine Xian Yu.
