Story Behind the Tea

Lu An Gua Pian 六安瓜片 is one of China’s renowned top ten teas, instantly recognizable by its flat, melon-seed-shaped leaves, from which it takes its name (“Gua Pian 瓜片” means melon seed slice 瓜子片). Unlike other green teas that emphasize buds, this tea only uses tender single leaves, carefully stripped of stems and tips. Each leaf is handpicked by veteran tea master Huang Shehua, who brings over 30 years of expertise in preserving traditional Huizhou craftsmanship. After meticulous triple-fire roasting 三火工艺, the leaves develop a crisp texture, vibrant green-yellow color, and a fragrant aroma with hints of orchid and roasted chestnut. Drinking Lu An Gua Pian is more than enjoying a cup of tea – it’s an immersion into the natural beauty of Dabie Mountain, centuries of tea artistry, and the elegant spirit of Eastern tea culture.
