Origins

Now, first things first: Sencha is a classic of green teas. The leaves are not roasted after oxidation of the enzymes, as it is customary in China, but steamed. It therefore has a very delicate, naturally grassy taste.

Yellow tea is often called semi-oxidized tea. It does not undergo fermentation like black tea, but neither does it dry quickly like green tea. The production process is still a bit of a mystery, but what is certain is that the drying of the tea leaves takes place in thick layers covered with cloth. It takes a few days and the result is a tea with a very interesting honey-sweet aroma.

Gunpowder got its name due to the resemblance to its namesake. It is a green tea hand rolled into neat little beads. The smaller they are, the better the quality of the tea. The leaves undergo roasting, so gunpowder has a pleasant smoky aroma.

Chun Mee or Rare Eyebrow has a full, slightly sweet taste. You can recognize it by its shape –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ the tea leaves are rolled into tiny arches resembling eyebrows. It is a green tea, high in antioxidants.

Pai Mu Tan is popular with all tea connoisseurs. The extremely delicate and tasty white tea is the purest form of tea –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ the tea leaves and buds are only dried after harvesting, not rolled.

Lung Ching or also Dragon Well or Long Jing Xi Hu is the standard variety of Chinese green tea. The tea leaves are glossy, sweetly herbal and flat. Because they are roasted, they have a nutty flavor.

Linyun White Snow is one of the green teas with a high proportion of silver tips.

Black, vanilla-scented Pi Lo Chun has tightly rolled leaves. It is one of the original tea varieties recognized worldwide.

China Oolong is an elegant specialty. The tea leaves are only slightly fermented, which is why oolong is considered semi-fermented, semi-green or semi-blue. It has an intense sweet taste and nutty aroma.

Other ingredients included in the blend are freeze-dried. This is a sophisticated preservation technology that preserves up to 90% of the vitamins and all the sensory properties of the ingredients.
