| Ji Zhi Gua Pian is actually the same tea as Lu An Gua Pian but it is processed using machine. "Ji Zhi" means machine-processed. The tea leaves used are picked from wild grown old tea bush in order to bring out the best taste in this Gua Pian tea. It is also comprised of pure tea leaves without the bud part, just like Lu An Gua Pian. Even though it is processed using machine, expert care was taken to make sure that the tea is processed according to traditional formula. Other names:
