Our selection of Chinese green teas is small for a reason: We are extremely fussy. We only select teas that we want to drink ourselves, and are proud to share with our customers. Sweet, clean, and with a delicate aftertaste that lingers in your throat and on your lips long after the tea has gone, this light organic tea is a dream come true for connoisseurs of Chinese green teas.
Also known as Yunwu Tea, Tian Mu Qing Ding is a rare and refined organic Chinese green tea from the misty Tian Mu Mountains in Zhejiang. The young leaves are carefully hand-picked in early April and worked with extraordinary care to preserve their freshness and character.
The beautiful leaves are elongated, slightly twisted and lush green, with a clearly recognisable leaf structure. Their needle-like shape and aromatic fragrance are typical of high-quality spring harvest teas. Produced with an artisanal method, the leaves are gently moved back and forth in hot cast iron pans, never pressed. This technique preserves their delicate structure and brings out both their natural beauty and refined flavour.
When brewed, the infusion is brilliant and crystal-clear, glowing with a soft yellow-green hue.
In taste, Tian Mu Qing Ding is pleasantly mild and balanced. It hardly turns bitter, offering instead a fine interplay of gentle sweetness and refreshing herbaceous notes. Connoisseurs often recognise a wide spectrum of aromas and flavours, from hints of pumpkin seeds and apricots to floral touches of magnolia and even a light artichoke-like nuance. This makes the tea both intriguing and harmonious, a perfect refreshment, especially on warmer days.
The story behind the name of Tian Mu Qing Ding adds to its charm. Qing Ding refers to a monument in Shandong Province that has stood for more than a century, surviving storms, earthquakes and the passage of time. It is a symbol of tradition, strength and constancy, values mirrored in this exceptional tea. The shape of the leaves is said to resemble the necks of dragons, long seen as protectors and bringers of good fortune in Chinese culture.
