An exquisite Chinese green tea meticulously hand-crafted in the same way and in the same place for over 3,000 years. Known in China as White Monkey Paw, it is made with only whole leaves and curled, downy leaf-buds. Clean, bright and remarkably delicate. The antithesis of modem, industrial green tea.

Each pot can be infused at least twice, simply add fresh water (the second pot is even more delicious than the first).
This tea is fairly traded and directly sourced by Rare Tea Co. and grown sustainably without herbicides or pesticides.

Tasteless

Tasteless, expensive mistake! If anything it has the same taste as the smell of summer hay.

The best

The best green tea I think I've had, such a smooth, nice flavour. Ocado also now stock the refill pouches! A bit misleading as the foil pack inside only fills about 3/5s of the tin but that's my only issue.

My Favourite

I have been buying this tea for several years now. I tried many other but always revert back to this one. No bitter aftertaste and it is quite mild but I prefer it that way. Many green teas leave me feeling nauseous but no issues with this one. I guess as with most things it's personal preference. Only downside is the cost. I stock up during the sale...or buy the sachets.

Expensive and smooth

This is expensive. I hope it's because workers are well paid. Need the refill packs to be made available. Not super super tasty but very smooth and pleasant.

Smooth but bland

I am a bit green tea drinker and especially love loose leaf, so had high hopes for this. The tea was pleasant enough, smooth with no bitter aftertaste, but was far too bland for me. I had to heap every pot full of leaves to get any kind of flavour out of it, meaning I ran through the packet much more quickly than normal. Considering how expensive this is, I am a bit disappointed and will be going back to my normal supplier!
