Buena Vida Tea Jasmine Chunmee comes from Jiangxi China – the original growers of the most popular tea in China. Chunmee means ‘precious eyebrows’ in Mandarin and this tea derives its name from the shape of the leaf. Once dried and rolled these leaves resemble the perfectly painted eyebrows of porcelain dolls. Our high-grade Jasmine Chunmee has consistently small, rolled tea leaves that are deep jade in color and when paired with the jasmine, create a divine fragrant balance between the sweet floral notes of the flower and the nuttier smoky notes of the tea.

Buena Vida Tea Dragonwell is one of the most famous and beloved of China’s green teas. Once reserved for the Emperor’s exclusive enjoyment, this tea grows in the gardens around Tiger Lake in the Shuzheng valley in Jiuzhaigou county. Dragonwell’s aromatic profile is grassy, nutty and fruity with a pleasant sweet, dried hand roasted vegetal flavor, rich with toasted earthy and yeasty signatures.

Buena Vida Tea Mao Jian – the King of Green Teas – is one of the most famous teas in China with a history of over 2300 years and a specialty of the Henan Province. Mao Jian means hairy and pointy – referring to the distinct look of the thin, tiny hair covered tea leaves. Crafting this tea is a truly artisanal process – the tea maker roasts the leaves in small batches in a wok, grabbing and shaking the tea by hand in a precise motion and rhythm to create the signature pointy shape.
