βœ“ Whole-leaf Ceylon green tea β€” single estate, hand-plucked

Genuine Ceylon green tea from Sri Lanka β€” hand-plucked whole leaf, not dust or teabag filler. Smooth, fresh, and gently grassy, with the fuller character Ceylon greens are known for.

Single Estate, Not a Blend

Most green tea on shelves is broken leaf blended from many origins. This is the opposite: single-estate tea grown, plucked, and made in one place, so you taste one estate's character rather than a generic blend. It's whole-leaf loose tea β€” long, intact leaves β€” hand-plucked and carefully made to keep the leaf fresh and expressive in the cup.

What Makes It Premium

  • Whole leaf, not dust: a cleaner, more aromatic, better-tasting cup that can be steeped more than once β€” not the powdery fannings in most teabags.
  • Hand-plucked: selective plucking of the finer leaf, not machine-stripped.
  • True Ceylon green: grown in Sri Lanka, the island that made "Ceylon tea" a byword for quality. Ceylon greens have a fuller, nuttier character than the delicate Japanese style.
  • Fresh harvest: loose-leaf green tea is at its best fresh β€” bright, clean, and lively.

Taste & Character

Smooth and refreshing, with a fresh, lightly grassy character and a gentle nutty, toasty warmth β€” fuller and rounder than a delicate Japanese green, and far less astringent than black tea when brewed right. It pours a pale green-gold liquor with a clean, mellow finish. Enjoy it plain to taste the leaf. As a natural product, each fresh harvest varies subtly β€” part of what makes good loose-leaf tea worth seeking out.

How to Brew (Read This β€” Green Tea Is Different)

Never use fully boiling water on green tea. Boiling water scorches the leaf and turns it bitter. Let the kettle cool for a minute or two first.

  • Water: ~70–80Β°C (160–175Β°F) β€” hot, not boiling.
  • Leaf: 1 teaspoon (~2–3g) per cup.
  • Time: 1–3 minutes. Start short and taste β€” over-steeping is what makes green tea bitter.
  • Multiple steeps: whole-leaf green gives 2–3 good infusions β€” steep a little longer each time.
  • Iced / cold brew: cold-brew in the fridge for 4–8 hours for a naturally sweet, smooth, low-bitterness cup.

Ways to Enjoy It

  • Everyday cup: a clean, refreshing tea for any time of day, brewed plain.
  • Iced & cold brew: smooth and naturally sweet over ice, with a slice of lemon.
  • With food: a light, palate-cleansing match for lighter meals.
  • Gifting: whole-leaf loose tea makes a thoughtful gift for tea lovers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "single estate" mean?

It means the tea comes from one estate rather than being blended from many origins. You taste that one estate's character β€” its region, elevation, and style β€” instead of a generic blend.

How is Ceylon green tea different from Japanese green tea?

Ceylon greens tend to be fuller-bodied and nuttier, with a gentle toasty warmth, where Japanese greens (like sencha) are more delicate, grassy, and marine. If you find some greens too light or too "green," a Ceylon green is a rounder, more forgiving cup.

What water temperature should I use?

About 70–80Β°C (160–175Β°F) β€” hot, not boiling. Boiling water scorches green tea and makes it bitter. Let a boiled kettle stand a minute or two before pouring, and keep the steep short (1–3 minutes).

Does it have caffeine?

Yes β€” green tea naturally contains caffeine, usually less than black tea. The exact amount depends on how much leaf you use and how long you steep.

Can I make iced tea or cold brew with it?

Yes, and cold brew is especially good for green tea β€” steep in cold water in the fridge for 4–8 hours for a naturally sweet, smooth cup with very little bitterness.

Where is it grown?

In Sri Lanka β€” the island world-famous for Ceylon tea. Growing region and elevation shape the flavour, which is why true Ceylon tea like this is prized by tea drinkers worldwide.
