Origin & History
The name Chao Qing (炒青) means "pan-fired green tea" and refers to one of the oldest and most widely used methods of producing green tea in China.
For centuries, pan-firing has been used to halt oxidation, preserving the tea's vibrant character while developing the warm, nutty undertones that distinguish Chinese green teas from their steamed counterparts.
This particular batch is organically grown in the rolling hills of Central Hunan Province, where fertile soil, seasonal rainfall, and a favorable climate create ideal conditions for producing balanced, flavourful tea.
It is processed in the famous Chun Mee style, a traditional green tea style admired for its distinctive leaf shape, bright flavour, and refreshing finish.
Across Asia, teas like this are not reserved for ceremony.
They are part of everyday life.
Simple. Reliable. Timeless.
How It Is Made
After harvest, the fresh tea leaves are carefully pan-fired to prevent oxidation and preserve their natural colour and flavour.
This traditional technique gives Chao Qing its signature character—a lively green tea with gentle roasted undertones and a pleasantly structured finish.
The Chun Mee processing style carefully shapes the leaves into their characteristic curved appearance while maintaining freshness and aromatic complexity.
The result is a tea that feels both vibrant and grounding, with enough character to remain interesting cup after cup.
