The bright, fruit-forward middle child of Mt. Pumori’s green-tea trio

Grown at ~6,500 ft on Ilam’s mist-cooled slopes, Emerald Green sits gracefully between 11° Best Green and 111° Special Green. It carries the Special’s silky ease but adds a livelier, fruit-bright lift and a touch more structure—perfect for drinkers who want more personality than 111° and more creaminess than 11°. Hand-crafted in small lots and USDA Certified Organic, it’s a luminous, everyday-luxury green tea with connoisseur depth.

Aroma & Appearance

Long, ribbon-twisted leaves in deep emerald and mossy green hues. On the nose: fresh spring greens, wildflowers, and ripe orchard fruit with a gentle nutty warmth.

Taste Experience

  • First sip: creamy, silk-smooth body with a bright honey-dew / apricot lift
  • Mid-palate: balanced vegetal sweetness (young pea shoot, tender bean) layered over a soft, clean earthiness
  • Finish: polished and refreshing—low bitterness, lightly drying in the most pleasant way, with a quiet nutty echo

If 111° is whisper-soft and 11° is crisp and classic, 95° Emerald is the harmonized chord—fruity, creamy, and confidently smooth.

Why It’s Special

  • High elevation terroir (~6,500 ft): slow growth concentrates aromatics for a high-fruit, low-bitterness cup.
  • In-between profile by design: more fruit and cream than 11°, slightly more structure and depth than 111°.
  • Gentle pan-firing: preserves chlorophyll brightness and silky mouthfeel while polishing tannins.
  • USDA Certified Organic: clean farming; flavor led by soil, altitude, and patient craft.

Brewing Recommendations

  • Leaf: 1 tsp (2 g) per 8–10 oz (240–300 ml)
  • Water: 165–170 °F (74–77 °C)
  • Time: 3 minutes (for extra brightness, 2:30; for more creaminess, 3:15)
  • Re-steeps: 3–4 infusions; add ~30–45 sec each round
  • Iced (flash-chilled): Brew hot at 2× leaf for 2:30, strain over ice—juicy, clean, and wonderfully refreshing..

The taste profiles of loose-leaf teas can vary widely depending on the steep duration, tea-to-water ratio, and water temperature. We encourage you to try different combinations for brewing tea to find the perfect tea, that speaks to your taste buds.

Iced teas

Can you make sweet/ unsweet iced teas from loose-leaf 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.

A Connoisseur's Take

Emerald Green lives where mountain sun meets morning mist. The leaves unfurl into a glowing green-gold liquor—silky on the tongue, bright with honeydew and apricot, and anchored by tender spring-green sweetness. It finishes clear and cooling, with a gentle mineral echo that invites another sip. Think of it as the perfect middle path: fruit-forward like a smile, calm like the Himalayas.

Danfe Method of Tea Preparation

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.
