NongXiang Clouds & Mist Green Tea (Updated Sep 2026)

This Clouds & Mist green tea from Guizhou, China is a great choice if you want a good everyday green tea without spending too much.

The aroma is strong, with notes of sweet corn, nuts, and fresh grass. The taste has a soft sweetness, but the grassy note is also quite noticeable. It has a light bitterness that can become stronger if you use hotter water or steep it too long.

One of the nicest parts of this tea is the cooling feeling in the mouth and throat. That cooling sensation, together with the soft sweetness and grassy taste, makes it very refreshing.

This is not a very delicate or mild green tea. It has a clear green, grassy character, so it is a good choice for people who enjoy that style. The sweetness helps balance the bitterness and keeps the tea easy to drink.

What makes this tea especially good is the value. You still get good aroma, good flavor, and a nice cooling feeling, but at a much more affordable price than many of our higher-end green teas. It is the kind of tea you can drink every day without feeling like you need to save it for a special occasion.

It is also very good for cold brew and iced tea. When brewed cold, the bitterness becomes softer, while the sweetness and fresh green flavor become easier to notice.

If you are looking for a good, affordable green tea for daily drinking, especially one with a clear grassy taste and soft sweetness, this is a very good choice.
