Nanshan Que Mei Tea

Last updated 2026-11-09 — Nanshan Que Mei Tea is harvested from high-altitude mountains such as Nanshan in Yaoli, Baishita, and Zhengjiashan, at elevations between 800 and 1,200 meters. Made from tender buds picked before the Qingming Festival, it takes over 20,000 young buds to produce one jin (approximately 500 grams) of dried tea. The tea leaves are green in color, with a long-lasting and fragrant aroma, a mellow and sweet taste that lingers, and a delicate, uniform appearance. The tea strips are tightly rolled, slender, covered with white downy fuzz, and shimmer with a subtle silver-green sheen.
