Que She (Sparrow’s Tongue) 2024

Sparrow’s Tongue Green Tea, named for its resemblance to a sparrow’s tongue, originates from the core production area of Yibin, Sichuan. Only the most tender buds from non-small-leaf varieties are harvested, with only the finest young leaves selected for processing.

Beyond Yibin, regions like Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui may also produce teas resembling this shape and bearing the name “Sparrow’s Tongue” — yet our Yibin Sparrow’s Tongue is widely recognized by green tea connoisseurs as the benchmark of quality. A tribute to the imperial court since the Tang Dynasty, its stringent selection criteria and distinctive flavor profile establish it as one of China’s rarest premium green teas.

Boasting 10% higher polyphenol and amino acid content than standard green teas, it delivers a refreshingly crisp and mellow taste. Whether for personal enjoyment or as a gift, it remains the preferred choice of discerning tea connoisseurs.
