The verdict

Where this pick fits.

Pan-fired flat leaves from Zhejiang — the most famous green in China. Toasted nutty, sweet finish, no grassy edge. Steeps light gold and stays clean across multiple infusions.

Pan-fired flat. Toasted, sweet, no grass. The Chinese standard. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
