Sourced from the lush, mineral-rich slopes of the Himalayas, Ana’s captures the pure essence of Nepal’s spring harvest. High-elevation growth slows leaf development, concentrating flavor and antioxidants for a naturally vibrant, healthful cup. Sustainably produced by small family farms, this tea offers unmatched freshness compared to mass-market blends.

Artisan Process:
Ana’s Organic Green Tea begins its journey in Nepal’s Maipokhari Hills, where tender first-flush leaves are handpicked in early spring. Within hours, the leaves are de-enzymed to lock in their bright green hue and antioxidant richness. They are gently rolled, shaped, and slowly oven-dried to preserve delicate vegetal notes. The result is a tea that rivals Japan’s finest sencha and China’s top green teas, with a unique Himalayan character.

Health Benefits:
Rich in EGCG and natural polyphenols, green tea supports metabolism, brain health, and overall wellness. Light in caffeine, it provides calm, sustained focus without jitters.

Rara Willow is a organic loose leaf white tea made with only one bud and a leaf that is rolled and dried at a high temperature, giving it a unique flavor profile.

This tea can be enjoyed by itself as a light breakfast tea or a lively afternoon tea.

A silvery bud and one tender first leaf are plucked early in the morning or late afternoon. The leaves are then withered overnight with a constant supply of natural air. Early in the morning, the leaves are hand-rolled and then allowed to rest for one to two hours. Once the rolled leaves begin changing color, they are lightly machine-rolled for 15 minutes and then dried immediately with low heat. Finally high heat drying increases the flavor profile and shelf life of this lovely white tea. The leaves emit extraordinary sweet grassy aromas. The cup reveals a sweet and crispy profile, with a lovely floral aroma. The finish reveals refreshing hints of orange and lemon.
