Chinese Original Green Tea Mild Taste
Gentle on the palate Low astringency Smooth daily companion
This green tea is specifically crafted for those who prefer a softer, less astringent cup. The leaves are sourced from shaded tea gardens in the Hangzhou region, where the reduced sunlight exposure naturally lowers the polyphenol content while preserving amino acids. The processing emphasizes gentle rolling and lower-temperature fixation to minimize the release of bitter compounds. The result is a tea that delivers a smooth, mellow flavor with a naturally sweet undertone and minimal grassy sharpness. The liquor is pale and clear, with a light body that does not overwhelm the palate. This tea is suitable for consumption at any time of day, including on an empty stomach, without causing discomfort.
