Chinese Green Tea
With the nutty Long Jing from West Lake in Hangzhou to the sweet springtime Anji Bai Cha from Anhui, as well as the rare gourmet Taiping Houkui and Suitong Cha, our high-quality selection of Chinese green teas includes some of the country's most popular teas. All teas are sourced from top Chinese farms committed to natural tea cultivation without the use of pesticides.
Anji Bai Cha
Exclusive Anji Bai Cha from the heart of the Anji region. A true tea rarity, praised by Emperor Huizong in the 12th century as the finest tea in the country. Its distinctively complex flavour profile has since earned it international acclaim, delighting discerning tea connoisseurs around the world.
Bai Mao Cha
A high-catechin green tea rarity based on the rare cultivar Camellia Sinensis var. pubilima, known in China as Bai Mao (白毛). Peak amounts of total catechins (C), epicatechins (EC), and epicatechin gallate (EGC), along with notably high levels of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) compared to Japanese high-catechin teas. Mild and aromatic, with a rich vegetal-chlorophyll note and intriguing hints of dried apricot.
Bi Luo Chun
Bi Luo Chun is one of the most popular and high-quality Chinese green teas, known for its characteristic curly shape as well as its delicate taste and highly floral aroma. Our Bi Luo Chun comes from the prized first harvest of a renowned tea farm in Sanxia, Taiwan’s most famous green tea region.

Enshi Yulu Green Tea
China’s only steamed green tea, a process that preserves its catechins. Enshi teas are renowned for having the highest selenium content of all teas and for their distinctly flavoursome, mineral character with a naturally alkaline profile. Traditionally, they are ranked among China’s top ten green teas. Sourced directly from one of the most esteemed tea farms in one of China’s most pristine natural regions, at an altitude of 1,100 metres.
Liu An Gua Pian Green Tea
Liu An Gua Pian (六安瓜片) is the flagship tea of China’s Anhui province and is counted among the “Top Ten Famous Teas of China”. Its name translates to “melon seed”, referring to the tea’s distinctively shaped leaves and their deep, dark colour when brewed. The tea is made exclusively from pure leaves, without buds or stems, resulting in a refined bitterness and vegetal sweetness that is rare among Chinese teas. We offer a Liu An Gua Pian of exceptional quality, organically certified and seldom found at this level.
Long Jing Green Tea
Long Jing 龍井 Tea, also known as Dragon Well tea, is one of the most famous and beloved green teas of China. It is distinguished by its flat, jade-green leaves and a sweet, mild flavour with delicate roasted notes of chestnut and pistachio. The authentic home of Long Jing is in Zhejiang province, located in the southeast of China, bordering the region around Shanghai.

Sencha from China
Sencha, or in Chinese “Jiancha” (steamed green tea), from the renowned green tea terroir of Fujian in China. Crafted according to traditional Japanese processing methods and sourced from certified organic cultivation.
Taiping Houkui
Authentic Taiping Houkui Green Tea from the legendary Huang Shan (Yellow Mountain) is among the most exclusive and rare teas in the world. Its spring-water freshness, unique flavoursome-vegetal notes, and strikingly distinctive leaf appearance are the hallmarks of this exquisite tea. We offer the highly sought-after spring harvest from an award-winning tea farm located directly on Huang Shan, a farm that has adhered to a strictly chemical-pesticide-free philosophy since its founding.
