Bhutanese Organic Green Tea (50g)

Bhutanese Organic Green Tea Leaves

This is the everyday green tea of the Bhutanese household: bright, clean, and brimming with the fresh vegetal character of mountain leaves picked at peak season. Grown by the Samdrupcholing Zangja Tshongley Detshen cooperative in Trongsa, our green tea is pan-fired shortly after plucking to lock in its vibrant green colour and crisp, grassy aroma.

The dry leaves are slender and needle-shaped, jade green with a silvery sheen. The brewed liquor is a pale, luminous yellow-green with a sweet, vegetal fragrance reminiscent of steamed greens, sweet peas, and chestnuts. On the palate it is brisk and refreshing, with a clean, slightly sweet finish that lingers on the tongue.

How to enjoy this mountain green tea in Bangkok:

• The Traditional Way: Steep one teaspoon per 250ml of water at 75–80°C for 2–3 minutes. Drink plain, ideally first thing in the morning.
• The Iced Way: Cold-brew in the refrigerator overnight for a crisp, low-bitterness iced tea. Add a slice of lemon or a sprig of fresh mint.
• The Culinary Way: Whisk a teaspoon of ground green tea powder with hot water in a bowl to make a simple matcha-style drink, or use the leaves to flavour rice, soups, and steamed fish.

Distributed by DRUKSELL/CSI MARKET under the Bhutan Green Tea banner with LOAS, BFDA-GHP/GMP and Bhutan Organic certification. The same village cooperative that grows our black and oolong teas tends these leaves by hand.

Beyond the kitchen, this green tea is used in the traditional Bhutanese way of welcoming guests. A small pot of green tea is brewed, poured into cups, and served alongside zow (puffed red rice) and small plates of roasted barley or maize. It is the everyday hospitality of the mountain household, simple and gracious.
