About Our Organic Rangsai Mountain Green

Yunnan Province is known for its black teas and pu'ers — which makes Yunnan green tea genuinely rare outside of China, and genuinely worth finding when you can. This tea comes from the same farmers' co-op as our Yunnan Black, harvested on the hills of Rangsai Mountain. It's a Song Zhen variety — named for the pointiness of the leaves, not for any piney aroma.

The flavor is soft and sweet: honeysuckle, green apple, chestnut. Not as bold as Green Eyebrow, not as springy as Yu Lu — but soft and sweet and downright charming. "Strong and calming, hard and smooth; you can taste the mountain," as Alejandro described it. Ashley called it "a sweet subtle dream." Samantha stretched a 4-oz tin across a year because she didn't want to run out.

A Special Lot. We sell it until it's gone. When it goes out of stock, it may not come back on the same schedule — the co-op grows it when conditions are right.

I Love these tea

I have been trying to find a good place where I can order good Chinese tea online for a while. I am glad I find little red cup. My husband and I are both tea person and we love authentic Chinese tea. These tea taste great. The tin looks so cute too!

Love the bright flavor of this green tea

Love the bright flavor of this green tea varietal! I was looking for something to vary the green teas which I enjoy daily from Little Red Cup, like gunpowder and eyebrow. And this one adds a wonderful variation to those great teas from this excellent, local tea company.

best friend

Love this green tea. Sitting down to drink this tea is like spending quality time with your best friend. I brew this tea in a yixing pot. Followed suggested instructions. 185 degrees for 2.5 minutes. Perfect. Recently started making natto, seasoned with yellow mustard and tamari. Flavors work well with this tea.

Delicious!

Such a lovely green! It’s soft and mellow, a little sweet with a pretty amber color, and the leaves are good for multiple brews! Definitely will be getting this again when it comes back!

Robust and delicate at the same time

I've been stringing along my last 4 oz canister of this from 2020 until I was able to buy a 16 oz bag of it last week. Holy crap, I'm so happy. This has been my favorite hot tea and couldn't be a daily tea because I didn't want to drink it all. All these flavors striking a robust yet delicate balance in the morning. I like that a reviewer said you can taste the mtn. That sums it up pretty well! 11/10 for me. I need to try it iced now.

Such a treat

Sweet and delicate, wonderful tea.

A very light and delicate tea. The sweetness is mild and more noticeable as the tea cools. I can taste a slight mineral dryness and astringency. Not bitter, and not tannic like black teas, but noticeable. Very different from any other green I have tried. This would probably not be my first choice for a daily drinker, but I love it for a change of pace. Highly recommended, and I will definitely buy again.

Delicious Green Tea

I'm now on my second canister of this tea. It is very delicious and the flavors described on the container really come through for me. It is my favorite loose leaf tea in my rotation right now.

Relaxation in a cup

Such a sweet, gentle, lovely brew. As excellent for a relaxing weekend as for a bit of soothing on WFH mornings.

Balanced and Mineral

Just ordered from LRC for the first time (but surely not the last!). Very thoughtful packaging, including a handwritten note from the owners.

This is the first tea I’ve tried from the box. It’s a very mild and balanced tea. I brewed gong fu style and got very little of the sweetness others describe and much more of a rich, almost mineral component, especially in later infusions. It had very distinct differences in flavor between each infusion, too... quite enjoyable.

Subtle and light Rangsai Mountain Green tea

This subtle and light tea is good for an after dinner treat. Ever so slightly-sweet, that honey was not even necessary.

In the tin this tea almost looks like a white tea to me. I get caramel flavors. Really look forward to this in the morn. Thank you Little Red Cup for offering these special lot teas. They are a lot of fun to try.

So mellow

Wonderfully smooth and mellow tea. Easy on the palate. Not too grassy or green tasting. This is a tea I could drink all day.
(Note: I steeped approx 2 min longer than instructions stated on the tin)

Refreshing and unique

Loved Rangsai tea, I found it to be quite subtle, and unique in that I haven't ever seen tea quite like it before. Like all of Little Red Cup's teas, it was a winner.

Why Our Tea Is Organic

Tea is among the most heavily treated crops in conventional agriculture. When you steep tea leaves in hot water, you’re making an extraction—and that extraction doesn’t discriminate between flavor compounds and pesticide residues. Every tea we sell meets certified organic standards. Our teas are certified organic by the USDA and MOFGA (Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association), a leading independent organic certifier. This means no synthetic pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, and annual third-party inspections to verify it. We source from worker-owned cooperatives in rural, mountainous regions of China, where traditional growing methods align naturally with organic standards. These aren’t industrial plantations; they’re small farms where people have been growing tea the same way for generations. Healthier soil produces better tea. Plants grown without synthetic chemical inputs develop more complex flavor profiles. You can taste the difference.
