About Chinese Green Tea
Green tea is an unoxidized tea that originated in China thousands of years ago. Its production involves rapid heating to “seal” the enzymes and prevent oxidation — using either pan-firing or steaming. Most Chinese green teas are pan-fired, creating a clean, toasted character. With its high antioxidant content, green tea has been widely studied and praised for its wellness properties. Early spring harvests, especially pre-Ming teas (picked before early April), are considered the highest quality due to their freshness and delicacy.
While China produces more than two thousand green tea varietals, Meimei Fine Teas focuses on legendary teas from their true origins — where terroir and tradition define excellence. Our collection includes West Lake Dragon Well, Huang Shan Mao Feng, Liu An Gua Pian, Tai Ping Hou Kui, and Anji Bai Cha — each representing the pinnacle of authentic Chinese craftsmanship.
