GREEN TEA

Green tea is celebrated for its fresh, vibrant, and vegetal character. The secret to its bright personality lies in what doesn't happen during its creation: oxidation. Immediately after harvesting, the tea leaves are heated—either by steaming (the Japanese method) or pan-firing (the Chinese method)—to prevent the enzymes from reacting with oxygen. This crucial step, known as "fixing," preserves the leaves' natural green color and their delicate, lively flavors.

The world of green tea is vast, with flavors ranging from sweet and grassy to savory with oceanic notes of umami. This category also includes roasted green teas like Hojicha, where the leaves are roasted after the initial processing. This final step transforms the flavor, creating a comforting, nutty, and naturally low-caffeine tea. Our collection is a tribute to the versatility of the green tea plant, offering both fresh and roasted experiences in every cup.
