This ‘famous’ green tea is produced in the Dabie Mountains in the west of Anhui Province, China. In this area the mountains are high, the gorges are deep and the soil is naturally very fertile. Lu’an is the name of the producing area. The tea is made by hand using the long, tender, emerald green leaves at the tops of the tea bushes. Due to its appearance it is given the name Guapian in Chinese, because it resembles the seeds of a watermelon. When the tea is made it sends forth a strong, fresh aroma. The colour of the infusion when made with filtered water is fresh, green and clear. The flavour is as pure and sweet as ‘Angels Tears’, lingering long on the palate. This shape, fragrance and taste are unique to the oldest of the ten ‘famous’ teas in China. It is organically grown, adding to its healthy reputation and can be rebrewed a number of times before losing its flavour and vitality. A very purifying way to start or end the day.
