Emerald Assam - Rare Green Tea

Pan-fried hand-made rare green tea from Assam, India. This premium green tea is an exclusive limited-edition tea, specially made in very small batches on an organic farm. While Assam is renowned for its rich and robust black teas, this exceptional green tea offers a fresher and more delicate expression of this celebrated tea-growing region.

The beautifully long and wiry leaves are carefully hand pan-fried in small batches, a process that gently heats the freshly harvested leaves to prevent oxidation while preserving their fresh character and nuanced flavours. Upon infusing, the long leaves gradually unfurl, producing a clear, golden-green liquor with a smooth and refreshing flavour. Gentle vegetal notes are complemented by a subtle natural sweetness and a pleasantly clean, mellow finish.

How to enjoy this tea:
Steep 1 to 1.5 tsp per cup for 2-3 mins in 80-85°C water. Place 1 tsp of tea per cup in a teapot or mug with an infuser. As the leaves are long and wiry, give them plenty of room to unfurl. Allow freshly boiled water to cool slightly before pouring it over the leaves. Using water at around 80-85°C helps bring out the delicate flavours without making the tea bitter. Allow the tea to steep for 2-3 minutes based on your taste preferences.

Caffeine content: Approx 20mg to 30mg per cup
