Green Tea – Morning 100 grams

Description

Darjeeling First Flush Green Tea  ·  High Altitude Estate  ·  Spring Harvest

Rise with the mountains. Green Tea — Morning is a first flush Darjeeling green tea crafted for those who greet the day with intention. Plucked at the very onset of spring from high-altitude gardens draped in Himalayan mist, these young, tender leaves are gently steamed and dried — never oxidised — to preserve every shade of their natural vitality.

The liquor is a clear, pale jade — almost ethereal in the morning light. On the nose, it opens with the clean freshness of dewy grass and sweet spring herbs. In the cup, expect a gentle vegetal sweetness layered with notes of steamed greens, honeydew melon, and a delicate floral lift that lingers long after the last sip.

Light in body yet deeply nourishing, this is a tea made for quiet mornings — for the pause before the day begins. No bitterness, no heaviness; just clarity in every cup.

Why Morning?

What Makes It Special

Most Darjeeling teas undergo oxidation — the process that turns leaves black and builds bold, malty character. Green Tea — Morning takes a different path. The freshly plucked spring leaves are immediately heat-treated to halt oxidation, locking in a vivid spectrum of chlorophyll, amino acids, and natural antioxidants that are typically lost in conventional processing.

The result is something altogether different from a standard Darjeeling — lighter, greener, and more meditative. It is Darjeeling seen through a Japanese lens: the terroir of the Himalayas expressed with the purity of a green tea.

Pairs Well With

Fresh fruit, light toast with honey, yoghurt, mild rice dishes, or simply enjoyed alone in the stillness of an early morning. Avoid pairing with heavily spiced or fried foods, which can overpower the tea’s subtle notes.
