The Heritage of Sparrow’s Tongue Tea

Sparrow’s Tongue / 雀舌 is among China’s treasured premium green teas.

Its name comes from the slender shape of the young tea buds, which resemble a sparrow’s tongue.

Traditionally harvested in the earliest days of spring, only the youngest buds are selected before the leaves fully open.

Because the harvest window is short, each bud must be carefully picked and processed to preserve its delicate texture, fresh aroma, and clean sweetness.
