Our loose leaf green tea is a fine example of a smooth and delicate Chinese green tea. Blended from high quality leaf-and-tip tea – delicately harvested and gently processed – it brews into a subtly coloured infusion with warm grassy aromas and a soothing, sweetly toasted character.
Our Tea Masters select Chun Mee leaf tea to create this blend. Chun Mee translates as ‘precious eyebrow’, as seen in the curled appearance of the gently rolled dried leaves. We source our Chun Mee from the Yellow Mountains of Eastern China, an area famed for its small tea bushes and minimal leaf processing. This comes through in the tea’s soft, nutty flavour and sweet notes of toasted grass. At Ahmad Tea we believe in letting quality tea speak for itself, and this exquisite blend has plenty to say. It’s a premium, 100% natural leaf tea, with nothing added or taken away. Naturally high in antioxidants and other nutrients, this tea makes a wonderful cuppa on many levels.
The loose leaf tea comes foil-sealed inside the caddy/packet to ensure freshness. We recommend brewing our green tea in hot water around at 80 to 85°C. This ensures the natural goodness of the tea is preserved, without any bitterness being drawn out. Simply pour freshly boiled water into your cup or pot and leave it for two to three minutes before adding the tea, or use a kettle with variable temperature setting.
The tea infuses into a bright, golden-green liquor, with a distinctive aroma of sun-dried summer grass. It’s a deliciously mellow brew, perfect for instilling a little calm and balance. Drink it throughout the day without milk, whenever you feel the need for a cleansing, revitalising pick-me-up. You can even serve it iced for a light, refreshing serve on sunnier days. Simply steep the leaves (with a little sugar to taste) then dilute with chilled water. Add ice and a slice of lemon to enhance the fresh flavours.

Lieferung schnell und einwandfrei. Bin sehr zufrieden. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.
If you're looking for a strong green tea, this is it. It's not a super-refined offering from Japan, but powerful and aromatic. Great offer at this price. Infuse for max. 2 minutes with 60-70° water.
Aromatic, mild, and refined due to the Darjeeling. The bergamotte flavours are well-balanced and not intrusive. Great quality, very attractively priced.
Since discovering Ahmad brand tea in a Russian grocery store years ago, I have kept the beautiful tin and renewed its contents ever since. Upon moving from Baltimore to Switzerland I tried other blends called cardamom but they had none of the subtle allure of Ahmad’s. What’s more, they ship quickly, and the price is so reasonable that even accounting for the cost of shipping, I’m still paying less than for Earl Grey from my local tea store. Oh, and thanks for the cute spoon sent along with my most recent order!
Seit ich diesen Tee entdeckte, ist er mein Favorit. In unserem Haushalt darf er nicht fehlen.
Excellent quality black tea, fragrant and uplifting. Stronger than a Darjeeling, smoother than an Assam. Best deal in CH :)
Each and every morning, my favourite cup of tea would be English Breakfast. It’s strong, it’s coloury, it’s got a wonderful nutty flavour that I really do enjoy, and it takes the milk well.

Dominic Marriot, Tea TasterLater on in the afternoon I might try something like a Darjeeling that has the muscatel flavour, or maybe even a high-grown Ceylon, but definitely my favourite brew, and the one that I drink the most of, is English Breakfast.
