1. Pearl Jasmine Green Tea:

A delicate, pearl shaped jasmine tea from Fu-Jian Province in China, spring picked green tea lightly scented with jasmine produces one of the highest grades of flower scented teas.

2. Yin Hao Jasmine Green Tea:

Ying Hao is based on green tea and then scented with Jasmine flowers. Jasmine quality is dependent on how many times the tea is scented. The five jasmine flower scenting makes the best Jasmine tea. Jasmine became the most popular tea in north China in the twentieth century. In Beijing, finally, Jasmine was almost the only choice. 
        Ying mean silver, hao is the white hair on the tea leaves. This translates as "silver tipped." High quality green tea is always used to make silver tipped. Our Ying Hao Jasmine comes from north Fujian province, the original area where Jasmine tea was first produced. This very fine, yet economical tea, is hand-picked, one bud, one leaf. It is picked in the spring and allowed to rest until July, when the Jasmine flowers bloom. Our Ying Hao Jasmine tea is scented five times. Historically, Ying Hao has been an award winner at many International Expositions.

3. Organic DragonWell Green Tea:

 

          Authentic West-Lake Dragonwell is the world’s finest green tea. Picked in early spring, its hand processing requires great care. The leaves are thin and delicate; the pale green infusion possesses a wonder lingering sweetness.

         This lightly fired green tea’s leaves are thin and blade-like, and covered with a golden sheen. Tea has been grown in the west Lake region since the Tang Dynasty (8th century A.D.) and the region is praised in Lu Yu's Classic of Tea.

          It is here where the modern method of making green tea was first developed during the Song Dynasty. (Until this time all tea was in brick or cake form.) Dragon well quickly became a favorite, and attained the status of an Imperial Tribute Tea.

          “Dragon Well” is both a place name and the name of a spring. The region is known for its mild weather, low rolling mountains shrouded in mist, and pure water. The soil is particularly rich in the organic nutrients that are most suitable for green tea cultivation. At the birthplace of the modern green tea maker’s art, the 800 year old tradition of the world’s finest green tea continues.

 

This tea has been grown organically. Certification was issued by Institue for Marketecology in Swiss.

 

4. Organic Mao Feng Green Tea:

 

The tea itself is known by its long delicate leaves, which are quickly fired and turn a dark jade green. When steeped, the tea is wonderfully fragrant, and leaves a lingering sweetness on the palate. This method of firing tea is a Southern Song invention, and has led to the way in which present day green teas are produced. It is a method, which leaves intact all those elements, which are most beneficial to health, and maintains China’s role as the producer of the world’s finest green teas.

This tea has been grown organically. Certification was issued by Institue for Marketecology in Swiss.

 

5. West Lake Green Tea:

 

Fresh raw green tea from Hang-Zhou is steamed in a fashion similar to the original green teas produced in China during the Song Dynasty. The result is a tea with a “green” flavor. The light jade color with a clean smooth taste and bean fragrance makes it enticing. Then, do the final selecting and firing in the modern way. West Lake Green is combined with original and modern technologies for abundant flavor.
