Tea Drunk Multi-Vintage Gua Pian Tea Tasting Set Green Tea

Discover how time reshapes flavor. This Tea Drunk tasting set features six distinct vintages of Gua Pian green tea from the same terroir in Qi Shan, Lu An—a rare opportunity to experience how vintage, harvest timing, and craft method transform a single origin tea. Each 4-gram sample reveals the evolution from bright, umami-forward early springs to deeper, complex mid and late season picks.

Hand-crafted using traditional and semi-traditional methods, this collection showcases the difference between freshly picked leaves and aged teas. You'll taste silky, vegetal notes in the 2023 harvest, buttery balance in the 2022 vintage, roasted florals in the 2021 pick, and creamy, sugary depth in older batches. Whether you're a serious tea enthusiast or curious about terroir and aging, this sampler teaches green tea mastery in one set.
