Chongqing Yongchuan Xiuya Needle Green
Jovial Teas
Hand-picked from the mist-covered hills of Yongchuan in Chongqing, this elegant green tea is celebrated for its delicate leaves and refreshing clarity. Xiuya, meaning “showing the grace of jade,” reflects the tea’s refined needle-like shape and brilliant green hue.
Expect a soft orchid fragrance, a fresh vegetal sweetness, and a clean, lingering finish that invites another sip.
