Mengding Ganlu 2025 Spring | Sweet Dew, Premium Green Tea

ORIGIN & HARVEST TIME

China, Sichuan Province, Meng Mountain, 2025

CHARACTER

This year, as every year, Meng Ding Gan Lu is one of the most awaited teas for green tea fans. Sichuan Province’s most renowned variety is a dream came true for tea lovers with its tender, fluffy buds. The first steep is already a silver green, light and sweet, etheral liquid. But the best begins with the second infusion: the colour is more opalescent, the texture is soft, the floral aromas appear, and by the time you reach the third infusion you can imagine the misty mountain’s beauty. The buds picked from the misty areas of Meng Mountain are also known as the tea of the immortals in China, and the tea was first cultivated by the legendary Buddhist monk Wu Li Zhen. Despite its mild taste, it’s a very a strong tea.
