A sophisticated collection of famous Chinese teas, with delicate yet rich flavours, each one very unique.

Available in different quantities
Teas included are:
I really like it.
(for those who is interested:
I steep 2 caps.
75°C, 6g, double walled glasses, tea strainer, 2 min 10 sec and 3 min 20 sec. Enjoy!)
Mao Feng and Dragon Well are my favourite Chinese green teas.
The China Teapot Mao Feng is of very good quality.
Pure pleasure to drink it on a hot day.
I am hopelessly western style tea lover, so I use double walled glasses and a good size tea strainer.
8g, 3 min 1st cup and 4 min 2nd cup.
Where I deviated from The China Teapot's suggestion is water temperature. I always steep Chinese green tea at 75°C.
As a bonus, it is the spotless The China Teapot's service. Very well packed and sent on time. From now on it is my favourite Chinese tea online retailer.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing our Huangshan Maofeng (Pre-Rain) tea. We are thrilled to hear that we have become your favourite supplier of Chinese green teas.
I really enjoyed this tea — rich, smooth, and satisfying. The small cakes make it very convenient to brew the right strength. I especially liked the effect: it put me in a calm, focused state for a couple of hours — perfect for work and deep thinking.
Hi! Glad to know the Tuo Cha helped you feel calm and focused during work and deep thinking. We appreciate your support and hope to see you again soon! Happy sipping!
Great experience overall and great communication. They didn't have the tea I ordered with the bundle but they replaced it with a higher quality one. I'd definitely buy again
