Chinese green tea, as the green tea category with the longest history in the world, has seen its tea – making techniques evolve continuously and become increasingly complex and sophisticated over thousands of years.Each variety of Chinese green tea we select has to go through at least 81 stringent procedures before it can meet the quality standards. Such meticulous craftsmanship has created its unique aroma and taste.TeaChuck harbors a beautiful vision, that is, to enable more people to savor such extremely pure Chinese green tea and experience the profound charm and rich connotations it contains.
Q: What makes Guizhou Maofeng different from other Chinese green teas?
A: Grown in Meitan County’s misty highlands (China’s #1 tea-producing region), our Maofeng is hand-plucked before sunrise using 13th-century techniques. Unlike standard green teas, its curled “hairy peak” leaves deliver a smoother taste with orchid-like sweetness. Contains 40% higher EGCG antioxidants than average green teas (SGS Lab Report #MT2024).
Q: How is your jasmine green tea scented without artificial flavors?
A: Our jasmine tea layers fresh Meitan green tea with night-blooming jasmine flowers for 7 consecutive nights – a 400-year-old method where flowers are replaced daily until the leaves absorb natural fragrance. Zero synthetic oils added.
Q: Which green tea has the least caffeine?
A: Our Spring Harvest Green Tea (Mingqian) contains only 15-20mg caffeine per cup – 60% less than coffee. Made from early April buds picked before photosynthesis peaks, it’s ideal for evening relaxation.
Q: Why is Meitan Cuiya so expensive compared to regular green tea?
A: Meitan Cuiya requires 58,000 hand movements per pound to shape its signature sword-like buds. Each batch undergoes 24-hour slow roasting over fruitwood charcoal – a dying craft only 23 masters in Guizhou still practice.
Q: Are your green teas tested for heavy metals and pesticides?
A: Yes. Every harvest passes 528-item SGS tests including lead (≤0.5ppm), cadmium (≤0.05ppm), and 426 pesticides (ND). While Chinese organic certified, we meet stricter EU organic standards. View reports [here].
