Imperial Laoshan Green (1/2oz), Pre-Qing Ming, Spring 2024

PLEASE NOTE: This tea is sold by the 1/2oz! The price above reflects this. This decision was made to allow more people to enjoy this high grade green tea!

Our shade-grown, pesticide free Imperial Laoshan Green comes from Laoshan Village, a place famous for their super-sweet spring water. It comes as no surprise that the sweetness of that water translates to immensely sweet teas! 

The aroma of this tea is quite lovely and reminds me of a forest in the springtime. The mouthfeel is creamy and sweet, with a lasting umami finish. A really wonderful tea, overall!

Pre-Qing Ming: Qing Ming is a festival held on the 15th day after the spring equinox in China (either April 4th or April 5th each year). Teas (in particular green teas) picked prior to this date are generally considered to be the highest quality harvest of the year. When tasting our Pre-Qing Ming teas, it's not hard to see why!
