Fresh Green Teas
We’re celebrating the vibrant freshness of spring with a carefully curated selection of green teas from four provinces. Harvested in the serene period of March and early April, during the pre-Qingming season, each tea represents the pinnacle of early spring flush: - Da Fo Long Jing from Xinchang County, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province - Song Luo Cha from Xiuning County, Huangshan, Anhui Province - Meng Ding Mao Feng from Mt. Mengding, Ya’an, Sichuan Province - Mei Tan Mao Feng from Meitan County, Zunyi, Guizhou Province It's the Year of the Dragon in the zodiac, and we are continuing our tradition from the past two years of featuring a Long Jing (Dragon Well) tea. In January, Vincent attended a prominent tea cultural conference in Xinchang, where he discovered excellent sources of the celebrated Da Fo Long Jing. Song Luo Cha is historically significant, known as the first-ever pan-fried green tea, developed during the early Ming dynasty by a Buddhist monk named Dafang. The last two teas, Meng Ding Mao Feng and Mei Tan Mao Feng, are of the top quality among Mao Feng style green teas, offering a rich and balanced flavor profile.
