Indian and Sri Lankan Green Teas
India and Sri Lanka are primarily known for their black teas. However, in recent years a healthy cross-pollinization of tea making techniques with China has been taking place. We now find a variety of green, white and oolong teas coming from Assam, Darjeeling, and Nilgiri in India as well as parts of Sri Lanka (referred to in tea terminology by its former name �Ceylon�). At times, Chinese techniques can be applied with only minor adjustments. In other situations, the tea-making techniques must be modified completely to suite the particular characteristics of the Indian or Sri Lankan leaf.
All of the teas below are made in various green tea styles yet fully retain the character, flavor and aroma indicative of the region where they were grown. We invite you to try each and experience the distinctive, refreshing qualities found only in Indian and Sri Lankan green teas.

Chandi
An exquisite sun-dried tea from the Nilgiri Mountains in Southern India. Crisp, golden brew with a distinctive, refreshing green fruit and floral aroma.

Darjeeling Silver Tips "Late Summer"
Out of Stock
High elevation Darjeeling with a lot of silver tips and a sweet, muscatel aroma.

Himalayan Green
Floral, muscat aroma and a distinctive sweet, smooth aftertaste.

Himalayan Sun-Dried
Only the top bud and leaf are selected to make this tea. Distinct green color, mild smoky favor and light body.
