2026 Guzhang Maojian Green Tea · 50 g [GT09]

A 50 g tin of green tea from Guzhang, Hunan: downy young leaves, a chestnut-like aroma and a fresh, sweet cup.

Guzhang lies in Hunan’s mountainous tea country. This selection is listed as one bud and one leaf, with young leaves that open in the cup.

Green tea is made with a fixation step that limits oxidation, followed by shaping and drying. The finished leaf shape and flavour depend on the material and the maker’s process.

Start with about 3 g in a glass cup and 85–90°C water. Let the leaves open for roughly 2–3 minutes, then adjust leaf quantity, water and time to taste.

Keep the tea sealed, dry and away from light and strong odours. Follow the storage and shelf-life instructions on the package. If refrigerated, keep it tightly sealed and let the closed pack return to room temperature before opening.
