Wild Misty Green — Loose Leaf Chinese Green Tea from Fujian

How to brew Wild Misty Green perfectly?

This is a simple, refreshing everyday Fujian green tea. It's forgiving, easy-going, and doesn't demand much fuss — but a little care still goes a long way.

The Vessel: Clarity & Control

To watch the leaves slowly unfurl in the water, we highly recommend using one of our Tea Infusers. They give you full visual enjoyment while ensuring you can separate the leaves instantly for a perfectly sweet brew.

The Brewing Ritual (Using a Glass Tea Infuser)

• Temperature: 80°C - 85°C. Never use boiling water; it will scald the leaves and turn the brew bitter.
• Ratio: A golden ratio of 1:50. For a 190ml Glass Tea Infuser, use 4g of leaves.
• Step 1 – Warm the Soul: Rinse your glass infuser with hot water and discard to warm the vessel.
• Step 2 – The Leaves: Gently place the 4g of dry Wild Misty Green leaves into the inner chamber.
• Step 3 – Gentle Pour: Pour your 80°C water gently down the inner glass wall. Crucial: Do not pour water directly onto the tea leaves. Let the water level rise and embrace the leaves from the bottom up.
• Step 4 – The Release (1st Brew): Leave the lid off so the tea can breathe. Let it steep for about 5-6 seconds. Once the time is up, lift the inner chamber out and rest it on the overturned lid. Enjoy the refreshing, jade-green first sip!
• Step 5 – Subsequent Brews: For the 2nd brew, the leaves are awakened. Add water and steep for 10 seconds. For the 3rd brew and any onward, simply add an extra 5-10 seconds to each steep.

Protecting the Delicate Freshness

Premium green tea is exceptionally delicate and acts like a "sponge" for odours. Proper storage is non-negotiable for maintaining its pure, refreshing character:

• The Fridge is Best: To maintain the lush flavour and aroma, we strongly recommend storing your tea in the refrigerator.
• Airtight Seal: Ensure the bag is perfectly sealed. We highly recommend using a Tea Bag Sealer to lock out moisture and persistent fridge odours.
• The Golden Rule (Crucial): When removing tea from the fridge, wait a while before opening the bag. Allowing the leaves to reach room temperature prevents condensation from forming on the leaves, which would ruin the tea instantly.

An Honest Fujian Daily Cup

• The Core Terroir: Sourced from high-mountain tea gardens in Fujian Province, at altitudes of 800 metres or more. The region's year-round mist, clean mountain air, and rich soil protect the tea leaves from harsh sun and dry winter winds, giving them a naturally sweet, refreshing character.
• The Wild Misty Green Craft: A pan-fired loose leaf Chinese green tea shaped into tight, twisted leaves. Not a famous, named cultivar — just an honest, refreshing everyday green tea that local Fujian farmers drink themselves.
• VGT Sourcing: For 18 years, Valley Green Tea has been the trusted destination to buy authentic Chinese green tea online in Australia. We source our Wild Misty Green directly from Fujian's high-mountain gardens, giving you a reliable, affordable Chinese green tea for your daily cup.
