Five thousand years of green tea. This is why.

• Flavour — smooth, clean and gently vegetal with a sweet finish; the white tips soften the grassiness typical of green tea and add a delicate floral note that lingers in the cup
• Chaofeng Hyson — one of China’s oldest named green teas, from Zhejiang province; also known as Dragon’s Tea, “Hyson” derives from the Cantonese for “flourishing spring” and was among the first Chinese teas exported to Europe in the 18th century
• White Tips — the unopened leaf buds harvested before they unfurl; they contain higher concentrations of L-theanine and EGCG than mature leaves, giving a sweeter, more nuanced flavour and a gentler caffeine release
• EGCG — the most studied catechin in green tea; a potent antioxidant linked to cellular protection and metabolic support, and the compound behind green tea’s long-standing reputation as a health-promoting drink
