Product Description
This High Mountain Green Tea comes from tea gardens nestled deep in the misty hills, where year‑round cloud cover and rich, diverse vegetation create an ideal growing environment. The tea trees grow alongside native trees and wildflowers, following nature’s rhythm without artificial interference. This harmonious ecosystem gives the tea a distinctive mountain character – pure, fragrant, and naturally sweet.
Harvested in early spring, before the Qingming Festival, these tender leaves are picked by hand to ensure each one is delicate and intact. As the saying goes: “One ounce of spring tea is worth one ounce of gold.” After a long winter of rest, the tea plants have accumulated rich nutrients, resulting in leaves that are intensely aromatic and full of flavour.
The dry leaves appear modest and unassuming at first glance, yet they hold remarkable depth. As they slowly unfurl in hot water, they release a gentle, lingering fragrance – layers of toasted bean and subtle floral notes that evolve with each sip.

Brewing Recommendation – Getting the Best from Your High Mountain Green Tea
This delicate pre‑Qingming green tea deserves gentle care. The tightly curled, spiral‑shaped leaves need room to unfurl slowly, and the fresh toasted‑bean and floral notes are best preserved with water that is hot but not boiling. We recommend two brewing styles below – choose the one that suits your mood and teaware.
Method 1 – Glass Tumbler (for visual enjoyment & convenience)
This method lets you watch the leaves dance and slowly sink, releasing their fragrance in full view.
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Tea amount | 3g (about one teaspoon) |
| Water volume | 200–250ml |
| Water temperature | 75–80°C (167–176°F) – let boiling water rest for 3–5 minutes before pouring |
Steps:
-
Pre‑warm the glass – Rinse your tumbler with hot water to warm it, then discard the water.
-
Add the leaves – Place the dry leaves into the warm glass. Inhale the gentle, grassy aroma.
-
First pour – Pour a small amount of water (just enough to cover the leaves) along the wall of the glass – never pour directly onto the leaves to avoid scalding.
-
Swirl and wait – Gently swirl the glass and let the leaves rest for 30 seconds. This “awakening” step releases the initial fragrance.
-
Fill up – Slowly add more water at 75–80°C until the glass is about 80% full.
-
Steep and enjoy – Let it steep for 1 to 2 minutes, then sip slowly. The leaves will gradually sink to the bottom, and the liquor will turn a clear, bright green‑yellow.
For a second infusion, simply add more water at the same temperature and steep for an additional 30 seconds – the flavour will become slightly sweeter and more rounded.
Method 2 – Gaiwan or Small Teapot (for layered flavour & traditional feel)
This method gives you more control over each steep and reveals the tea’s evolving character through multiple infusions.
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Tea amount | 3–4g |
| Water volume | 120–150ml |
| Water temperature | 75–80°C (167–176°F) |
Steps:
-
Warm the vessel – Rinse your gaiwan or small porcelain teapot with hot water, then discard.
-
Add the leaves – Place the dry leaves into the warm vessel, cover, and give it a gentle shake. Open the lid and enjoy the fresh, vegetal aroma.
-
Rinse (optional) – For green tea, a quick rinse is not strictly necessary, but if you prefer, pour a small amount of water over the leaves and immediately pour it out after 5 seconds to “awaken” them.
-
First infusion – Pour water gently along the inner wall of the gaiwan, avoiding direct impact on the leaves. Cover and steep for 1 minute.
-
Decant – Pour the liquor completely into a fairness cup or directly into your tasting cup. The liquor should be clear and pale yellow‑green.
-
Subsequent infusions – Add 30 seconds to the steeping time for each additional brew. You can expect 3–4 delicious infusions, with the flavour shifting from fresh and crisp to softly sweet and nutty.
Pro Tip: Never use boiling water on this green tea – high temperatures will scald the leaves and produce a bitter, astringent taste. Always let your boiled water cool to 75–80°C before pouring. Also, avoid steeping for too long; if you prefer a milder cup, shorten the steeping time rather than lowering the water temperature.
