Green Tea

All of our green teas are Young Hyson from the Dimbula district in the Central Province. Dimbula teas are characterized as high-grown; the regional definition specifies an elevation of between 1,100m and 1,600m (3,500-5,000ft.), but in practice the regions estates all stand at an altitude of over 1,250m (4,000ft.)
It is wet and misty for much of the year, and western-facing estates are drenched by the southwest monsoon between May and September; however, Dimbula also benefits from the cool, dry winds of the western quality season, a period that begins around the turn of the year and continues until March or early April.
The complex topography of the region produces a variety of beneficent microclimates, which show up as differences in flavor. All, however, share the Dimbula character: a green tea that produces a fine pale golden hue in the cup, with a distinctive freshness to the flavor that leaves a clean feeling in the mouth after the tea is drunk.
