Green tea from China

Yunnan

Tart and sweet in character, our teas from Yunnan are a change from the sweet and fruity green teas.

Organic Yunnan Special
from CHF 9.80

This green tea from the province of Yunnan contains a striking number of spikes, which give it a soft side alongside its visually rough appearance.

In terms of character, this exquisite tea is at its best.

This tea tells the tea lover where it comes from clearly and without many words. Reminiscent of raw Pu'erh with a slightly tart sweetness, this tea gives the cup a yellow-golden hue. A companion for every day.

Fujian

Known for their particularly successful and aromatic white teas, our green teas from Fujian are reminiscent of these teas. Soft with a pleasantly restrained aroma, these carefully picked teas are a pleasure to drink.

Organic White Monkey Pekoe
from CHF 16.00

Visually, this tea is likely to embarrass many a tea connoisseur, as it is not an extremely exciting white tea, but rather a very successful harvest with plenty of silver-green tips.

Harvested and processed by the same farmer as this year's Pai Mu Tan, this green tea from Fujian also promises pleasant hours of tea.

Once infused, this white monkey shakes off its snow-covered winter coat and reveals its true nature.

Mild and soft, yet infused with green-tart notes, these take over the tongue and palate.

Anhui

Anhui is a province in eastern China, home to the famous Huang Shang Mountains. Its low-hanging clouds, striking granite cliffs and twisted pine trees have been depicted in numerous classical paintings and poems. An area with a long tea history.

Organic Shi Feng Lung Ching
from CHF 24.00

Shi Feng, which translates as Lion's Peak, is considered one of the most sought-after green teas in China.

This tea is so valuable that it is a popular wedding gift among wealthy Chinese.

In the province of Zhejiang in the capital Hangzhou, there is a large lake known as Xihu or West Lake.

Along its banks are a variety of villages where the tea farmers produce the best lung ching.

Very young shoots are harvested, which are then pressed by hand in steel pans and heated at the same time.

A lung ching works wonders for tiredness.

It is therefore also reminiscent of a Japanese green tea.

Nutty-bready and very drinkable.
