Himalayan Green – green tea, yet again something different. The leaf structure is of a striking matt, reed-green colour with a slightly frizzled, rolled leaf form, and scattered, silvery tips. Very nicely handcrafted. The cup is a shining honey colour and develops an intensely fruity, aromatic bouquet with the slightly grassy tartness so typical for green teas.
The Shangri-La Green Pearls are cultivated organically in the tea area Ilam at an altitude of 1,700 m. Approximately 96 % of all Nepalese teas are grown in this popular region in the east of the country. The leaf is exclusively plucked following the quality principle of “One leaf and a bud”. After the harvest, the fresh leaves are carefully and gently withered for a short amount of time. Then, the leaves are rolled just a tiny bit by hand and brought into their unique shape by machines. Despite the distinctive green tea flavour, the green pearls surprise with a soft and floral freshness in the aftertaste. The infusion shines in emerald-silvery colours..
On the way from Colombo to the high plateau of Nuwara Eliya we pass the Pussellawa Valley in which the Melfort Tea Estate, founded in 1914, is located. Since 2004, exceptional green teas have been produced in a very modern production facility based on the exclusive use of Chinese plants. Our quality impresses with a matt, olive-coloured, rough and open rolled leaf, which reminds of traditional Chinese tea art. The infusion is freshly scented, fruity and spicy. The golden, glowing cup receives us with a spicy, strong bouquet with a full body and a slight tartness. A tea, which will meet the expectation of any green tea lover thanks to its exceptional quality!

Also called “Tua Chua-Lai Chau” in Vietnamese. The leaves of this rarity come from the old “Tuyet San” tea trees which grow up to 10 m in height in the mountain ranges in northern Vietnam at an altitude of about 1,500 m. The mountaintops are covered in thick clouds almost throughout the year. These practically ideal growing conditions guarantee a constant, very high quality. This tea captivates with a smoky green, beautifully curled leaf. The brewed olive-green leaf discloses the careful processing of the whole leaf, and the golden-coloured cup has a full, slightly sweet taste with a fresh, grass-like note..
