China Tea Sampler
China, hailed as the birthplace of tea, boasts a rich tradition that has endured centuries. Varieties include Green Tea, Black Tea, White Tea, Oolong Tea, Yellow Tea, and Dark Tea (pu-erh). Each type, steeped in history, craftsmanship, and regional distinction, reflects the epitome of Chinese tea mastery.
Chinese black tea can be traced back to the 16th century in the Wuyi Mountain region of Fujian Province. One of the most popular is Lapsang Souchong (Nature's Tea Company's Smokey Lapsang)
Chinese green tea is one of the most well-known and widely consumed types of tea globally. In contrast to the intense nature of black tea, green tea tends to be more refreshing and delicate. Green tea originates from the northern parts of Sichuan and the southern regions of Shaanxi.
Qing Cha, or oolong tea, traces its roots back to the Qing Dynasty. It occupies a middle ground in terms of taste, marrying the robust essence of black tea with the subtle and fresh notes characteristic of green tea. For individuals who find black tea overpowering and green tea too mild, oolong tea stands out as an excellent alternative.Oolong tea is primarily produced in the provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, and Taiwan.
Chinese dark tea, also known as “Hei Cha” in Chinese, is a category of fermented or post-fermented tea that undergoes microbial fermentation and oxidation processes during production. Dark tea is primarily produced in regions such as Sichuan, Yunnan, Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, Anhui, and others.
