Wushi Organic Green Tea

Wushi green tea is one of our most sun-filled blends: a pineapple green tea with peach, brimming with fruity, tropical notes, crafted for those who love a cup that is both indulgent and delicate.

Three leaves come together here: a vegetal Sencha, a rounder Chun Mee, and a hint of Pai Mu Tan white tea for softness, rounded out with pineapple, peach and organic cornflower petals. Explore our selection of green teas to discover more profiles.

The Wushi aroma profile

On the nose, pineapple bursts forward immediately: a bright, juicy, almost sweet note that calls to mind perfectly ripe tropical fruit. This is the opening that defines the blend and gives it its sunny character.

In the heart, peach takes over with a velvety roundness. It softens the vivacity of the pineapple and settles into something richly fruity and natural, without ever tipping into candied sweetness.

On the finish, the green tea base makes itself known. Sencha brings its fresh, vegetal quality; Chun Mee adds a lightly woody touch; and Pai Mu Tan lends a gentle floral sweetness that lingers in the cup. The cornflower petals contribute a delicate note and a beautiful blue hue to the dry leaf.

This pineapple green tea is wonderful served hot as a comforting pause, or iced as a refreshing drink on warm days. To keep exploring, try our Jinjiang green tea, more vegetal and pure in character.

How to brew Wushi green tea

A great cup comes down to four simple things: low-mineral water, a controlled temperature, the right amount of leaf and a short steep.

The water: use filtered or still spring water with low mineral content, so the natural fruit aromas and the delicacy of the leaves can fully shine through.

The temperature: heat the water to between 70 and 80°C. Any hotter and the green tea turns bitter, with the fruity notes fading away. If you don't have a temperature-controlled kettle, bring the water to a simmer then let it rest for 2 minutes before pouring.

The dose: use 12 to 15 g per litre, roughly a heaped tablespoon for a 500 ml teapot. A generous measure fully opens up the pineapple-peach profile.

The time: steep for 2 to 3 minutes, no longer. Strain the leaves straight away to keep the balance just right.

For an iced version, double the dose and steep for 1 hour in cold water in the fridge: you get a naturally sweet cold brew, perfect served by the pitcher. For more guidance, visit our guide to green tea.

Storage

Keep your Wushi in an airtight tin, away from light, moisture and strong odours. Stored this way, it will hold its full fruity freshness for 18 to 24 months after opening.
