Loose Chinese Green Tea

It is widely known that China is a cradle of tea! As the legend has it, tea appeared in China in the year 2,737 BC. The Emperor Chen Nung decided to travel around China in search of healthy herbs. The Emperor would always boil water before drinking it, as he had a very healthy lifestyle.

So, one day he felt tired after a long walk, boiled some water for himself and decided to rest under a tree. A leaf from that tree fell into his glass of water. The Emperor drank it and was greatly impressed by this magnificent drink. That is how tea originated in China. Now Chinese tea, and especially Loose Chinese Green Tea is known all over the world! 

The oldest type of Loose Chinese Green Tea is Gunpowder Green Tea. As mentioned earlier, this tea type has a particular rolling technique, that makes it so unique.
