Online Store of Chinese Tea — Miy Chay

In almost every culture, tea drinking holds a special status — it's a ritual that requires a certain order (which varies from country to country), brings peace of mind, brings people closer, and offers mental clarity. Even a simple tea bag rarely gets drunk on the go. Usually, one wants to pause, relax, and enjoy every sip. And when it comes to real tea — handpicked, carefully processed, and rich in flavor and aroma — the experience becomes truly unique. So how much does Chinese tea cost, and where can you buy good Chinese tea in Kyiv? Let’s explore...

Chinese Tea

It is widely believed that Chinese tea is the most “authentic”.

Interestingly, each type and variety of tea is grown and harvested in specific regions. Hand-picking and manual processing result in smaller volumes and higher prices, which is why Chinese tea doesn't often reach mass markets. High-quality Chinese tea is available only in specialty stores (such as the online tea shop “Miy Chay”) or through direct ordering from China — which can be risky and complicated.

Understanding Different Types of Tea

Many people divide tea (whether Chinese, Indian, or Ceylon) into just two types — black and green. Moreover, they assume these are different leaf types. But in China, there are **seven main categories of tea**, each containing dozens of subtypes. Black and green teas can even come from the same bush — it's the processing that makes the difference. And the most surprising part: what we call black tea, the Chinese call **red**, while “black” tea in China is an entirely different kind.

So, here are the 7 groups of Chinese tea:

1. Green Tea. These teas are widespread across the globe, and China is no exception. They grow in many provinces and are produced quickly. Green tea is barely processed — leaves are handled gently to preserve their integrity and beauty. In fact, these are not even leaves but buds — the top of the branch with tiny new shoots. Green teas can have various flavors, but all are light, bright, with floral notes and pleasant aftertaste. Our store, “Miy Chay,” offers a wide selection of green teas — each one a masterpiece of tea art. Today, anyone can buy Chinese tea in Kyiv.
2. Yellow Tea. Rarely found in supermarkets or even specialty stores. Yellow tea is premium-class due to its production process and energizing taste. Only a few regions in China grow suitable bushes, and only the uppermost leaves are harvested. The result is a golden-colored tea with deep, complex flavors highly valued by connoisseurs.
3. White Tea. Delicate, soft, and visually unique — the buds are covered with a fine white fuzz. Grown in specific provinces, from particular tea bushes. White tea is neither fermented nor processed, preserving all its natural goodness and subtle taste. It’s airy, tender, and refined. This tea is also available in our online shop in Ukraine.
4. Oolong Tea. A wide category of teas united by the method of semi-fermentation. Leaves are collected in southern provinces and go through a range of processes to release their juices. They are then roasted in ovens — darker roasts yield darker oolongs, lighter roasts produce lighter varieties. Each oolong has a fresh and distinct flavor. Visit “Miy Chay” — our tea shop in Ukraine — to explore a wide variety of oolongs.
5. Red Tea. (Known in the West as black tea) These are fully fermented teas with rich, strong flavor and beautiful deep red-burgundy color. Making red tea takes several days. If you’re looking for Chinese red tea in Kyiv — our store welcomes you!
6. Black Tea. In China, this refers to heavily fermented and aged teas, often with earthy, bold flavors. Complex processing gives them a unique, intense aroma. While not yet widespread in Ukraine, true tea lovers can find them at “Miy Chay.”
7. Pu-erh Tea. Sheng Pu-erh (raw/light) is usually aged for years to develop its prized taste. The longer it's aged, the stronger and more expensive it becomes. Shu Pu-erh (ripe/dark) undergoes accelerated fermentation for 45 days. While it resembles Sheng Pu-erh, the difference is noticeable. Both are typically sold in pressed form, making them easier to store and transport. Anyone who wants to buy Chinese tea in Ukraine should explore the wide Pu-erh range at “Miy Chay.”

Enjoyment with Benefits

Genuine Chinese tea is a rich source of essential nutrients. First of all, it contains vitamins: A, B1, B15, P, C, and K — each supporting different functions in the body. Plus, tea includes vital amino acids and minerals like potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron.

Tannin, which acts similarly to caffeine, gently stimulates the central nervous system. A cup of tea can energize and refresh you.

Today, buying Chinese tea is not just about combining pleasure and health — it's a way to immerse yourself in the unique charm of Eastern traditions.
