What Makes This Green Tea Special
High Elevation (1000–1500m)
Cooler temperatures and constant mountain mist slow down leaf growth, allowing deeper accumulation of compounds that create clarity, structure, and a clean, refined profile.
Large Day-Night Temperature Swings
The contrast between warm days and cool nights enhances aromatic development while preserving freshness and vibrancy in the leaves.
Mountain Mist & Dense Forest Surroundings
The tea grows in a naturally humid, shaded ecosystem, contributing to a softer, more integrated character with no sharp edges.
Clean-Grown, Beyond Organic
This tea is sourced from gardens that operate without the use of pesticides and without added fertilizers. While many teas can carry organic certification, not all organic farming is equal—this environment and approach go a step further, focusing on minimal intervention and allowing the natural ecosystem to define the tea.
The Taste & Texture
This is not your typical green tea.
It leans closer to the feeling of a wild environment—almost like a raw puerh expressed through a green tea. From the first sip, there’s a distinct sense of the mountain itself: a touch of minerality, a light salinity, and a wild plant character that gives the tea a more untamed edge.
There’s a gentle bitterness, but it doesn’t weigh the tea down—it sharpens it, making the entire profile feel more alive and refreshing. The finish lingers in a way that’s uncommon for green tea, carrying that wild, slightly savory character long after each sip. It’s clarity, energy, and a direct expression of the environment—you can truly taste where this tea comes from.
Brewing Recommendation
Use a gaiwan with about 3g of tea in 90–100ml water at around 185–195°F. No rinse. Start with a 25–30 second first infusion, then shorten to 10–15 seconds for subsequent brews.
If using a tall glass (around 16oz), use about 2g of tea. Add hot water and let the leaves slowly open, usually around 1.5–2 minutes before drinking.
This tea is stable and forgiving, allowing you to focus on the experience rather than precision.
A Different Expression of Green Tea
Most people associate green tea with coastal regions or lighter, more delicate styles.
This tea shows a different direction—high mountain, inland-grown, and elevation-driven. The result is a green tea with more depth, more composure, and a stronger sense of place.
