Origin and Character
The gardens of Nankeng Village sit among cool mountain forests and frequent mist. The locally rooted Qun Ti Zhong material is picked in early spring and carefully finished to preserve sweetness without an overtly grassy edge.
Its character is nutty and composed rather than sharply vegetal. Roasted chestnut and fresh bean notes give the tea depth, while the high-mountain material keeps the liquor bright and refreshing.

✦ The Astraluna Perspective ✦
Green Mist Green is a tea of freshness without sharpness. Its chestnut warmth and clean bean sweetness give the cup a grounded character, while the high-mountain leaf keeps everything light and clear. We chose it for the balance between energy and composure: vivid enough to awaken the senses, yet gentle enough for an unhurried morning ritual. It is a reminder that freshness can feel calm rather than fleeting.
