Lu'an Guapian Green Tea 六安瓜片

Unlike most green teas that prize tender buds, Lu’an Guapian is crafted exclusively from mature leaves, with no buds and no stems. This distinctive tradition, preserved for generations in Anhui Province, produces a tea with exceptional body, depth, and character.
Our Lu’an Guapian comes from traditional seed-grown tea gardens in Xianhua Ridge, one of the most respected growing areas in the Lu’an region. Naturally propagated from seed rather than modern cloned cultivars, these heritage tea trees preserve remarkable genetic diversity and express the unique character of the local terroir. Grown without pesticides and managed with a light-touch approach, these tea gardens allow the character of the mountain, soil, and climate to shine through in every harvest.
The tea offers a rich chestnut aroma, delicate floral notes, a refreshing sweetness, and a smooth, satisfying texture. Beneath its vibrant green tea character lies a deeper structure and complexity rarely found in bud-focused green teas. Each cup reveals the enduring appeal that has made Lu’an Guapian one of China’s most celebrated teas for centuries.
