This high elevation USDA Organic tea is our favorite Green Tea yet.

When Steeped perfectly, the liquor might look subtly golden green producing a thick and brothy texture when tasted, along with a subtle sweet undertone.

Preparation

We believe that the tea drinking experience should be completely personal and liberating. There is no right or wrong way to brew tea. Individual taste buds are unique.Therefore we encourage tea lovers to not necessarily  bind themselves with our methods but let their experience, contemplation and discovery be personal. After all, that is where the joy of drinking tea lies.. We believe that a tea drinker should try different variations of brewing methods, amount of tea, steeping time and water temperature to come to find the perfect taste they fall in love with.
