Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
This organic Simao green tea uses a tip-heavy grade high in amino acids, producing a clean and pristine feeling in the mouth and noticeable umami quality. The fragrance is crisp, with a slight floral quality and gentle nuttiness to follow it up. While more renowned green teas are still waiting for buds to appear, this tea takes advantage of Yunnan’s favourable climate and long growing season to give you a taste of the earliest days of spring, at a budget-beating price. $0.11-0.17/gram Picking Period: February 26 – March 2, 2026 Region: Simao, Yunnan
