Chinese green tea can be intimidating.
Long Jing, Bi Luo Chun, Mao Feng, Gua Pian, Hou Kui... the names alone are enough to leave most tea drinkers confused.
In this video I compare 11 of China's most famous green teas, explaining where they come from, how they're processed, what they taste like, and who they're best suited for.
You'll learn:
🍃 The origin of each tea
🍃 Their defining flavour profiles
🍃 How they differ from one another
🍃 Which teas offer the best value
🍃 Buying tips to help you choose the right tea for your palate
Whether you're completely new to Chinese green tea or looking to expand beyond Long Jing, this guide is designed as a practical cheat sheet you can return to whenever you're deciding what to drink next.
Featuring:
• Long Jing (Dragon Well)
• Zhu Ye Qing
• Meng Ding Gan Lu
• Lu Shan Yun Wu
• Laoshan Green
• Huangshan Maofeng
• Anji Bai Cha
• Hubei Enshi Yulu
• Luan Gua Pian

If you've ever wondered why these teas all taste so different despite all being "green tea", this video is for you.
