11° Mt. Pumori Best Green Tea (Certified Organic)

The Benchmark of High Elevation Nepal Tea

Grown Where Few Teas Can Survive

Some green teas are just green teas. This one is different.

11° Mt. Pumori Best Green Tea grows at 7,000 feet in Ilam. The Himalayan air is thin. Temperatures shift dramatically. Growth slows to a crawl.

That slowness changes everything. Amino acids concentrate in every leaf. Astringency softens naturally. The result? A remarkably smooth premium green tea that redefines what green tea can taste like. This is high elevation Nepal tea in its purest form. No compromises. No shortcuts.

Just authentic Himalayan terroir expressing itself in your cup.

What You'll Experience

The liquor shines with vibrant emerald clarity. Crystal clear. Almost luminous.

The texture feels clean. Refined. Polished.

The finish balances perfectly. Gently sweet. Never bitter.

This is the green tea you've been looking for.

USDA Certified Organic. Micro-Lot Crafted.

This premium loose leaf green tea is grown using certified organic agricultural standards. No synthetic pesticides touching the soil. No chemical shortcuts. Just sustainable nutrient management that preserves what makes this land special.

The process:

The finest leaves get hand-plucked at peak freshness. Moisture reduces through controlled withering. Oxidation stops immediately through steaming or pan-firing. Enzymes deactivate within minutes. This preserves chlorophyll levels. Protects catechins. Maintains that fresh green profile you can taste.

Leaves roll into elegant shapes. Cell walls break gently to enhance infusion. Final drying locks in aroma permanently. Oxidation stays below 5%. Always.

This is USDA organic tea done right.

Flavor Profile

What you'll taste:

Smooth from the first sip. Creamy texture coating your palate. Subtle vegetal sweetness emerging. Light nutty undertones developing. Gentle cocoa nuance surprising you. Clean mineral finish lingering long after. This gold-standard loose leaf tea is noticeably less astringent than green teas from lower elevations.

The balance between L-theanine and natural caffeine creates composed, steady character. Not jittery. Not harsh. Just right. 

Natural Compounds & Composition

This premium green tea naturally contains:

  • Catechins including EGCG
  • Polyphenols
  • L-theanine
  • Chlorophyll
  • Trace minerals from Himalayan soil

These naturally occurring compounds create the distinctive character of high elevation Himalayan tea.

Why This Green Tea Tastes Different

At 7,000 feet, temperature shifts are dramatic. UV intensity increases. Growth slows significantly. Amino acid development accelerates. Bitterness decreases naturally. The result?

Certified organic. Micro-lot quality. Uncompromising standards.

This is what the best green tea tastes like.
