About This Tea

Tropical Green Tea is a distinguished tea originating from Various, Sri Lanka, where the unique combination of soil, climate, and elevation creates ideal conditions for producing this remarkable variety. The leaves are pan-fired in large woks to stop oxidation, a technique that imparts a subtly different character from Japanese steaming methods, resulting in a tea that has captivated drinkers for generations with its distinctive character and refined qualities. For centuries, tea artisans in this region have perfected the techniques needed to bring out the best in each leaf, passing down knowledge from master to apprentice through countless generations.

The sensory experience of Tropical Green Tea begins with its aroma — tropical fruit medley with green tea. Upon tasting, one discovers mango, pineapple with green tea freshness. This complexity of flavor makes Tropical Green Tea a fascinating tea to explore, as each brewing reveals new nuances and subtleties that reward attentive drinkers. The tea is moderate in caffeine with 20-35 mg per cup, providing gentle alertness without the jitters, adding to its versatility as a daily companion.

Ceylon tea, as Sri Lankan tea is traditionally known, has been synonymous with quality since the 19th century when tea replaced coffee as the island's primary export crop.

Preparing Tropical Green Tea requires attention to temperature and timing. Water at 75°C to 85°C brings out the best qualities of the leaf, while steeping for 1 to 2 minutes achieves the ideal balance of flavor and body. A ratio of 2.0g per 100ml of water is recommended. With up to 2 possible infusions, each cup provides a new opportunity to appreciate the nuances of this exceptional tea.

In the modern tea landscape, Tropical Green Tea occupies a special position.
