This is the absolute best grade of Liu An Gua Pian from Anhui Liuan Guapian Tea Industry, one of the China's Top 100 Tea Factory and widely regarded as the best Liu An Gua Pian tea producer in the country. Liu An Gua Pian tea is a very old tea with history dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It had always been a famous in China even in ancient times, where it was highly praised by scholars and people in the Imperial family. History records suggest that Empress Dowager Cixi (Qing Dynasty) was extremely fond of this tea, consuming almost 14 liang (about 700 grams) every month. Gua Pian tea was also mentioned repeatedly (80 times!) in the renowned Chinese Novel - "Dream of Red Mansion". It was selected as the National Gift Tea to the United States Secretary of State during his visit in 1971 when People's Republic of China was just established.

Cha Wang grade Gua Pian tea leaves are harvested only from organic farms in high mountainous areas that are above 600 meters above sea level. This tea is categorized as "Tian" (Heaven) Grade by the company, representing the highest grade. Below it are "Di" (Earth/2nd grade) and Shan (Mountain/3rd grade). Cha Wang Liu An Gua Pian is certified organic by Zhong Xing Product Certification Company.

Other names:

Liu An Melon Seed (Tea King Grade)

Liu An, An Hui Province, China

Harvest Period:

Brewing Guide

1. Rinse tea cup and teapot with hot water.

2. Use about 3 grams of tea leaves (1-2 teaspoons) for every 150ml of water. Steep tea leaves in hot water at 75°c (158°F) to 85°c (176°F) for 1 minute for the first and second brewing.

3. Gradually increase steeping time and temperature for subsequent brewing.

* We suggest you can use glass-based or porcelain tea ware.

Excellent green. Slightly woody and nutty with a long sweetness. No astringent qualities like many of the whiter quality teas. It is easy to brew. I actually overbrewed my second steeping with no noticable problem.

A consistent soft tone and taste makes this tea a good choice for a quiet drink. It is obviously cultivated carefully as the leaves are in fine form in the contanier.

Sweet, Nutty, Fresh, Not bitter & strong fragrance until 3rd brewed. the texture & color of the leaves are still good, maybe it's cha wang lu an gua pian in tin, so the quality assured.
