About This Tea
Half Moon Pearl Green Tea
Experience the elegance of Half Moon Pearl Green Tea, a rare treasure from the high-elevation gardens of Sandakphu, Nepal. Unlike mass-produced teas, these hand-rolled pearls represent the pinnacle of Himalayan loose leaf green tea craftsmanship.
Grown at 6,700 feet, each pearl slowly unfurls into a sweet, fresh, and vegetal infusion. This second-flush harvest offers a distinct terroir that only the Nepal hills can provide—locking in high antioxidant content through immediate cold-air withering.
Flavor Profile:
- Aroma: Fresh bean sprout and crisp endive.
- Palate: Creamy layers of artichoke and steamed spinach.
- Finish: Remarkably clean and smooth—ideal for quiet afternoons.
