  • This Green Tea is made from relatively more mature leaves than most Green Tea on the market. This provides a more substantial, full-bodied composition. Still young, but bigger leaves contain more constituents than very young leaf buds. This tea is an ideal everyday, on-the-job tea. It's a nicely balanced brew that provides all the feel good health benefits in Green Tea! We feel that this source is giving us the most for our money in terms of providing a Green Tea with more substance than most.

  • Mr. and Mrs. Xie manage their cooperative of certified organic farms in a way that we that combines tradition with an eclectic knowledge of tea production. They have an integrated understanding of what works in terms of tea cultivation and processing as well as consumer market trends.

    Typically, when we sit down at Mr. Xie's tea table, he will brew that he has recently or is currently in the process of curing. In effect, we often get to try a type of tea we have never tasted before. This in itself is a gift freely offered by these modest and impressively knowledgeable tea farmers. He never says what the tea is before we taste it and ask about it, which provides us with a kind of experiential quiz!

    After years of visiting them frequently in their home and gradually learning of their overall production that would only be humbly offered when warranted by our relentless questions, we are finally offering one of their fundamental types of tea. Green Tea is the least processed of all tea types, and offers the original fresh green leaf character with all its healthy attributes!

Refreshing

MY wife got this as her first tea from Eco-Cha and loved it. Nice, light, refreshing and uplifting green tea!

First taste of this tea

Mild aroma, mostly of veggies. I did not feel the sweetness of the tea. The tea had a relatively high amount of stems compered with oolongs from Eco-Cha.

daily-drinker tea

After brewing, the aroma of this tea was not particularly strong. Not as strong and aromatic as Bi Luo Chun. It has weak green and sweet aroma. I felt the aroma was lacking of freshness, which I could usually found in Bi Luo Chun.

The taste reminded me of spinach soup, it's green, buttery, and slightly sweet. There was no bitterness.

For me, it was a good daily-drinker green tea. The price was inexpensive! Should have purchased more XD

Breath of Morning

I like to have my green teas in the morning to help clear my sometimes-foggy mind and drive in to work. I read the comment about the amount of stem in this tea because of the harvesting method, but I really did not find that to be a detraction from my ability to enjoy the brew. My usual selections are Japanese Sencha and a generic Chinese Gunpowder Green. I like the bright/crispness and well-balanced, not overly astringent flavor of this tea. I can brew a big mug or pot and enjoy it start to finish. I would call this a "Tea-lover's Tea", if you are into green teas.
