Green tea is the worlds most consumed type of tea. Unlike other tea types, freshly picked leaves quickly heated after harvesting to prevent the tea from oxidizing. Two methods are used to heat the leaves – pan fired for an earthy, more roasted taste, or steamed at high temperatures for a lighter, more delicate taste. This process stops the enzymatic activity in the leaf which allows them to retain their distinctive taste, flavour, aroma and appearance. Green tea is mostly produced in China, where 80% of the worlds Green tea is sourced.
This tea is from Zhejiang Province on the Eastern coast of China. Covered with hills and small mountain ranges, this picturesque region has a humid subtropical climate with distinct seasons and the perfect combination of rain and sunshine. Our tea is carefully selected then pan-fired to yield a smooth tea with a fresh taste.
