Cha Zhi Ji Green Tea – Fresh, Unfermented Elegance

Carefully Harvested Spring Buds

Cha Zhi Ji’s green tea is crafted from young, tender shoots picked early in the season. The harvest emphasizes “early, tender, even, and clean,” avoiding coarse stems, yellow leaves, or overgrown material. This meticulous selection preserves the purity and delicate quality of each leaf.

Traditional Green Tea Processing

Green tea is a fully unfermented tea. Fresh leaves are first withered to reduce moisture, making them soft and pliable for later stages. This helps retain color and prevents sticking during pan-firing. The tea is then "kill-green" heated to stop oxidation, followed by rolling to release inner compounds, and carefully dried to shape and preserve freshness.

Tasting Profile & Health Benefits

Green tea retains over 80% of its original polyphenols and caffeine from the fresh leaves, along with high levels of chlorophyll and vitamins. The resulting brew is clear and light green, with a clean, slightly astringent taste and grassy aroma. It’s a refreshing daily tea that supports wellness and clarity.
