The tea is harvested from the first leaves gathered in the spring and once picked, is carefully sorted by hand to remove stalks and broken leaves, steamed, rolled and then dried. The needle like leaves are a beautiful dark, rich green colour producing a slightly cloudy yellow-green infusion packed with vitamin C and yielding a grassy sweet taste with a clean, lime zest finish, delicate and refreshing.
