Slow Green Tea

Ingredients - Organically grown, single estate Ceylon green tea

Our organically grown slowly withered Green Tea is grown naturally in the Ceylon region of Sri Lanka, and made with the finest tea leaves.

Carefully hand-picked, withered by forest winds and hand rolled by artisans, our loose leaf tea is forest-friendly and supports the Tea Leaf Trust.

Our Slow Green Tea has a vastly different flavour from our Classic Green Tea.

Fully fermented black tea leaves which are the basis of all breakfast teas contain the highest amount of caffeine. Green tea has less caffeine, followed by white tea which contains a minimal amount of caffeine. While you will get a caffeine hit from your pot of tea, it is significantly less than you would from coffee.

Artisinal loose leaf teas are created in smaller batches and hand-picked from single estates. We know exactly where all our tea is grown, and who grows it. We want to be sure that each bag of tea we sell is doing good for the local community where our favourite tea plantations are.
