Tian Shan Clear Green

Last updated 2026-11-10 — Tian Shan Clear Green: A premium variety of Min Dong Tian Shan green tea, named for the clear, emerald-green hue of its brewed liquor. It is produced in areas such as under Tian Shan Ridge in Xi Township, Central Tian Shan in Zhanghou Township, Tiepingkeng, and Liping Village in Jitou Township. The finished tea boasts a fragrant aroma reminiscent of the fresh, invigorating scent of stephanotis; its taste is rich and full-bodied, with a lingering aftertaste akin to that of fresh olives; the liquor is emerald green, clear and bright, complemented by tender, vibrant green leaves. The leaf flesh is thick and plump, offering exceptional endurance through multiple infusions—its flavor remains even after three or four brews. Ningde has a tea-producing history spanning over 700 years. Around the year 1781, the “bud tea” produced in Tian Shan was already listed as a tribute tea.
