China accounts for a enormous 80% of the global supply of green tea. Revitalising and refreshing, Chinese green tea, such as our Mao Jian Tea, these green China teas come packed full of antioxidants and contain near-to-no calories.

White Tea

One of the healthiest classifications of tea is the Chinese white tea. Along with green tea, this traditional Chinese tea retains its anti-oxidation properties, making it one of the healthiest tea classifications. The white colour spawns from the hairs on the unopened buds of the Camellia sinensis plant.

Black Tea

Black tea from China is typically not the same that you'd get in the West. These black China teas are dried, oxidized, and then roasted. This gives them a generally stronger flavour as opposed to other classes of tea. It is claimed that black tea offers a plethora of health benefits like improving cholesterol and boosting heart health.

Yunnan is ideal for tea production due to its perfect geographical position and climatic conditions. Drinkers of Yunnan pu-erh tea allege of many health benefits like aiding weight loss, improving cholesterol and helping digestion.
