This small tea estate in the UVA District was the world‘s first certified organic estate to produce premium green tea qualities. This estate ranks highly due to its fine organic green teas, which are sought after by connoisseurs and enthusiasts around the world. Our tea shimmers in many nuances of green, with long, slightly needle-like leaves. Afterbrewing, you will be impressed by the bright green, flowery and sweet infusion with visible leaf structures. The fresh taste is reflected in the sunny yellow cup color.
From this tiny growing region within the world of tea, more and more respectable green tea qualities are entering the market and are very cost effective. We support the efforts of the local producers by importing this humble tea. The slightly curly, very homogeneous medium-sized leaf with both silvery and light green tips has a typical Nepalese character with some unfermented leaves. The mild, grassy note shines with elegance and character.
The city of Bao Loc is located in the Lam Dong province in the highlands of Southern Vietnam. In its surroundings, excellent green Oolong varieties are produced using ancient Taiwanese methods. The freshly picked leaves are laid out on cloth to be dried in the sun under the open sky. Then they are rolled in cylindrical bamboo baskets to bruise the leaves, which starts the fermentation process. After reaching the desired level of fermentation, the tea is dried using low temperatures. The glowing green cup has a flowery scent and caresses everyone’s taste buds with its flowery, sweet flavor.
We can now offer organic tea varieties from this garden! Almost 75 % of all Rwandan cultivated teas come from small farms which have united in a cooperative called Assophte. The proportion of orthodox tea is not even 20 %, and this is why we are rather proud of this green tea rarity which grows at an altitude of approximately 1,800 m above sea level.The infusion unfolds the wiry, dark-green leaf and is scented with a slightly spinach-like aroma, which lingers on your palate for some time after tasting the tea. The cup color is a shining lime color.
