Meng Ding Shi Hua is a superior Sichuan green tea produced on top of Meng Ding Mountain. Although it is not as famous as some other green teas, it is one of the treasure teas in Sichuan province. It is growing on the high Meng Ding Mountain, where is far from cities and residence areas.
This tea is purely hand-made, and not easy to find on the market. Mouya found this tea from one of our tea master’s hometown, and the available amount is very limited.

Green tea has a very long history in China. Now there are many varieties of green teas growing in over 20 provinces in China while the most well known are from Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces. Green tea is heated to 180°C temperature and is not fermented, which allows the tea to keep most ingredients compared to other tea variations. High quality green tea should have a green color (both leaf and soup) and have a long lasting bittersweet and nutty fragrance with freshly sweet flavor.
