Chaara 4011 Sultan Green Tea: A Guide to Making the Right Choice<\/h2>\n

Chaara 4011 is a string-style green tea from Sultan, a company founded in Casablanca in 1936. It is composed of 100% of grade 4011 Chunmee green tea leaves\u2014the most iconic grade in this classification\u2014with fine, twisted leaves that Moroccans call \u201cchaara,\u201d meaning \u201chair.\u201d Packaged in a 200-gram box of loose-leaf tea with an intensity rating of 7, it produces an amber-colored infusion with a bold character and balanced structure, which can be enjoyed either plain or as mint tea. It naturally contains caffeine and is prepared in a Moroccan teapot\u2014with a preliminary rinse\u2014or in a Western-style teacup.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

4011\u2014the grade that connoisseurs ask for by its number<\/h2>\n

In grocery stores in Morocco, people don\u2019t ask for \u00abstrand tea\u00bb; they ask for 4011. This number refers to the most famous grade in the chunmee classification\u2014a green tea with thin, twisted leaves whose Chinese name means \u00abprecious eyebrows,\u00bb in reference to their arched shape. Moroccans, for their part, have named it \u201cchaara,\u201d meaning \u201chair\u201d: same idea, same delicacy.<\/p>\n

The Sultan version of this classic is based on a meticulous selection of leaves, and you can really taste it: the brew is amber-colored and clean, with that distinct vegetal character that sets the tea leaves apart, yet it has a balanced structure that never veers into harshness. Intensity 7: enough body for generously sweetened mint tea, enough finesse for drinking it plain.<\/p>\n

\n

03<\/span> <\/p>\n

Intensity 7: Versatile Balance<\/h3>\n

Neither light nor intense: a bold character that balances sweetness and mint, while remaining pleasant when enjoyed black in a slightly diluted cup.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n

How to prepare it: plain or with mint<\/h2>\n

The tea leaves release their flavor quickly and abundantly: a preliminary rinse is even more important than with whole tea leaves. Pour a little boiling water over the tea, stir, discard this first infusion, then begin steeping with simmering water: the cup gains in clarity what it loses in surface bitterness.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Mint Tea<\/h3>\n

One tablespoon in the teapot, a bunch of fresh mint, and sugar to taste: intensity level 7 brings the blend together perfectly.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Nature, in a cup<\/h3>\n

One small teaspoon, water at 80 \u00b0C, 2 to 3 minutes: the true character of 4011, without sugar or artificial additives.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

With seasonal herbs<\/h3>\n

Absinthe, sage, or verbena in winter: its character pairs just as well with local herbs as it does with summer mint.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

On several bodies of water<\/h3>\n

Like any good tea, it can be steeped again: the teapot can handle two or three steepings without losing its flavor.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

FAQ: Chaara 4011 Sultan Green Tea<\/h2>\n
\n

What does \"Grade 4011\" mean for Chaara Sultan tea?<\/h3>\n

The 4011 is the most iconic grade in the Chunmee classification system\u2014a green tea with fine, twisted leaves that was historically exported to Morocco. It is such a classic that many tea enthusiasts request their tea directly by this number, as a benchmark of style and quality.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
\n

What does \"chaara\" mean in the context of this Sultan green tea?<\/h3>\n

Chaara means \u00abhair\u00bb in Arabic: it is the Moroccan name for green tea in strands, as opposed to rolled tea leaves. An interesting parallel: the Chinese name for this style, chunmee, means \u00abprecious eyebrows,\u00bb a reference to the same slender, arched shape of the leaf.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
\n

What does Chaara 4011 Sultan green tea taste like?<\/h3>\n

It has a pronounced vegetal character and a clean, amber-colored liquor\u2014more expressive than that of whole-leaf teas\u2014with a balanced structure that prevents it from tasting harsh. Its intensity level of 7 allows it to hold its own against the sugar and mint in Moroccan tea, while remaining pleasant on its own when brewed lightly.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
\n

What is the difference between Chaara 4011 and loose-leaf tea?<\/h3>\n

The filaments are thin, twisted strands that release their flavor quickly and generously: the brew is full-bodied and darker. The beans, rolled into beads, yield a smoother, more gradual cup. There are two schools of thought in Morocco, and families often remain loyal to one or the other.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
\n

How do you prepare Chaara 4011 without it tasting bitter?<\/h3>\n

Rinsing is key: pour a little boiling water over the tea leaves, stir, discard that first infusion, then steep in simmering water. For a single cup, use a light dose (one small teaspoon), water at 80 \u00b0C, and steep for 2 to 3 minutes: the flavor develops quickly.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
\n

When is the best time to drink Chaara 4011 Sultan tea?<\/h3>\n

Like all green teas, it naturally contains caffeine: it\u2019s perfect with breakfast, at the end of a meal, and for shared afternoon tea. Later in the evening, a caffeine-free herbal tea will naturally take its place.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
