Collection: Chinese green teas

These teas have quite different characteristics from Zhejiang Province to wonderful teas from Yunnan and Anhui Provinces, otherwise better known for their black teas. Gunpowder, Chun Mee and Pi Luo Chun are amongst the most famous.

These green teas are less vivid in colour than Japanese green teas and produce a crystal clear liquor with a colour anything between orangy green to pale pink. Green China teas are purer in taste and less grassy than Japanese green teas. They include Gunpowder - rolled into tiny balls between 1 and 3 millimetres in diameter, and Chun Mee made from leaves one centimetre long.
