A favourite everyday tea from China.  The fine large leaves, prepared in a Sencha style, produce a mild, toasty sweet taste and a delicate green-yellow infusion.

We find this an accessible, reviving and refreshing and particularly suited to those new to green tea, but well appreciated by connoisseurs too.

The Sencha production method is typical to Japanese green tea and has been adapted for some China green teas.  Freshly picked leaves are withered and then pan fired to prevent oxidization.  The resulting tea is bright, yields a green/yellow cup and has a vegetal and grassy flavour.  Some Sencha teas develop savoury seaweed-like notes.

Region & Growing Info

China

China is the world's largest producer of tea, offering diverse types including green, black, oolong, white, and Pu-erh. Famous regions include Zhejiang, home of our Dragon Well Lung Ching green tea, known for its fresh and nutty flavour. Yunnan produces rich Pu-erh with earthy, aged qualities. Fujian is famous for oolong teas like Tie Guan Yin, offering floral, creamy notes. Each region imparts distinct flavours from unique climates and terroirs.

China's tea culture is rich with tradition, emphasising handcrafting and meticulous processing methods. Green teas such as Lung Ching are pan-fried while Oolong teas are primarily hand-rolled. Pu-erh undergoes fermentation, creating a robust, earthy profile. China's commitment to organic and sustainable farming is growing, with many regions producing eco-friendly teas. The country’s vast landscape ensures a variety of flavours, from delicate, floral flavours to bold and distinguished flavours.
