A premium bud-only green, Bird’s Tongue “Que She” is named for its tiny tapered leaves that resemble a sparrow’s tongue. Prized for their uniform shape and vibrant appearance, our lot was harvested and crafted Pre-Qing Ming, capturing another vivid expression of the early spring season.
- The source farm is located at an elevation of eight hundred meters, and the bud material comes from a Mao Feng cultivar. During processing, the dense fresh buds are carefully rolled to create a shiny, bright green leaf.
- The pan-firing process emphasizes clarity and sweetness, producing a clean and focused cup.
- The aroma suggests orchid with a hint of chestnut, while the flavor is fresh and expressive, evoking sweet spring vegetables with a gentle nutty undertone.

Green Tea
Add 30 seconds for each successive steep — flavors evolve.
Full-leaf green teas will open to layered, delicate flavors. The freshly picked leaves are dehydrated to prevent oxidization and preserve their natural green color. Japanese green teas are steamed to preserve their fresh aromas and flavor notes. It is best if green tea is not brewed with boiling water.
Lower temperature water allows the leaves to steep slowly, preserving their natural sweetness. Green teas and yellow teas offer a gentle vegetal aroma. In the mouth, flavors range from spring asparagus and delicate notes of sorrel and raw vegetables to herbaceous and nutty.
