Chinese green teas are known for their fresh and delicate flavors, with a light grassy or vegetal taste. They are typically less oxidized than black teas, which gives them their characteristic light color and flavor.
Some popular varieties of Chinese green tea include Dragonwell (also known as Longjing), which is grown in the Hangzhou region of China and has a nutty and slightly sweet flavor, and Bi Luo Chun, which is grown in the Jiangsu province and has a fresh and floral taste.
Chinese green tea is often brewed using water that is around 175°F (80°C) and steeped for 1-2 minutes. It is typically enjoyed without milk or sugar, although some people may add honey or lemon for flavor. Chinese green tea is also used as a base for flavored teas, such as jasmine green tea, which is made by infusing green tea leaves with jasmine flowers.
