Iced teas
Of course, you can! High-quality loose-leaf teas make the most refreshing iced teas—smooth, crisp, and oh-so-quenching!
While some might call it blasphemous to add sweetener/sugar to high-quality loose-leaf teas, here in Texas, where sweet iced tea is a beloved tradition, we have been using our loose-leaf to uplift the iced tea experience.
We have tried and perfected the art of turning your favorite loose-leaf tea into a delicious iced delight.
It's time to try it for yourself. Here's how we do it:
Pro tip: Feel free to experiment with water amounts, temperature, steeping time, tea quantity, and sweetener quantity to find your perfect balance.
We believe that your tea experience should be completely personal. Individual taste buds are unique and there is no right or wrong way to brew tea. Therefore we encourage tea lovers to not necessarily bind to traditional methods but let their experience, and discovery guide them. After all, that is where the joy of drinking tea lies. You should try different amounts of tea, steeping time, and water temperature to find the perfect taste you'll fall in love with.

No. Like all true teas made from Camellia sinensis, 111° Mt. Pumori Special Green Tea naturally contains caffeine. It typically provides approximately 25–35 mg of caffeine per 8 oz cup, which is about one-third the caffeine content of coffee. Many tea drinkers prefer this smoother, more moderate lift.
Yes. Organic certification does not remove caffeine. USDA Certified Organic simply means the tea is grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The caffeine level remains natural and unchanged.
111° Mt. Pumori Special Green Tea is grown at approximately 6,500 ft in Ilam, Nepal. The high elevation slows leaf growth, concentrating amino acids and flavor compounds. It is harvested during the first flush of spring and made from one leaf and a bud. The tea is pan-fired and contains less than 5% oxidation, preserving freshness and clarity. This results in a silky texture, low astringency, and a clean mineral finish.
Tea grown above 5,000 ft develops more slowly due to cooler temperatures and thinner air. Slower growth can concentrate natural flavor compounds and amino acids. At 6,500 ft, Mt. Pumori Special Green Tea develops its signature buttery body and soft vegetal sweetness.
First flush refers to the earliest harvest of spring. Only the top two leaves and a bud are plucked during this period. This represents less than 5% of the plant’s annual growth. First flush teas are prized for their delicacy, softness, and refined flavor profile.
This tea is suitable for 3–4 infusions. Each steep reveals evolving flavor notes, from fresh greens and young corn to a subtle floral sweetness and mineral clarity.
Yes. Due to cool-climate cultivation and careful pan-firing, this green tea has noticeably low astringency and very minimal bitterness. This makes it approachable for new green tea drinkers while remaining complex for experienced tea enthusiasts.
A plain cup of green tea contains fewer than 3 calories. When consumed without milk or sweetener, it remains virtually calorie-free.
USDA Certified Organic means the tea gardens follow regulated organic agricultural practices. No synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used. Certification ensures traceability, soil integrity, and environmentally responsible farming methods.
No. This is a pure, single-estate green tea. Its aroma profile—fresh greens, young corn, and light floral notes—develops naturally through careful withering and pan-firing, not from added flavoring.
Gunpowder green tea is rolled into tight pellets, typically in Chinese processing styles. 111° Mt. Pumori Special Green Tea retains its long, twisted leaf shape. This preserves natural aromatic oils and allows for multiple infusions with gradually unfolding flavor complexity.
Morning or early afternoon is ideal. The natural caffeine content supports alertness. Evening consumption may affect those sensitive to caffeine.
No. This tea is not decaffeinated. It remains in its natural, unaltered state to preserve flavor integrity and original composition.
Green tea remains largely unoxidized, typically below 5%. Oolong tea is partially oxidized, ranging between 10–70%. This difference affects flavor, aroma, and body. 111° Mt. Pumori Special Green Tea delivers a fresher, more vegetal character with crisp clarity.
For those seeking silky texture, buttery mouthfeel, and low astringency, 111° Mt. Pumori Special Green Tea is a top-tier option. Its high elevation, first flush harvest, and artisan pan-firing contribute to its balanced, velvety profile.
