Best Green Tea for Beginners

New to green tea? These approachable Chinese green teas are fresh, forgiving, and perfect for beginners.

Longjing (Dragon Well)

Longjing is China\'s most famous green tea. It is nutty, sweet, and smooth with no bitterness when brewed correctly. Look for Hangzhou or West Lake origin for authenticity.

Biluochun

Biluochun is rolled into tight spirals and has a fruity, floral aroma. It is slightly more intense than Longjing but still very approachable for newcomers.

Huangshan Maofeng

Huangshan Maofeng has a light, orchid-like fragrance and a clean, refreshing taste. It is a great choice if you prefer delicate teas.

Anji Baicha

Anji Baicha is unusually pale and rich in amino acids. It tastes mild, sweet, and slightly creamy, making it one of the easiest green teas to love.

Brewing Tip for Beginners

Use water around 80°C, not boiling. Steep for 2 minutes. Boiling water will make green tea bitter.
