About This Tea
Makalu Mint Green Tea: A Himalayan Breath of Fresh Air
Experience the crisp, revitalizing spirit of the Himalayas. Makalu Mint is a vibrant loose-leaf blend crafted for clarity and calm. We start with a USDA Organic green tea base sourced from high-altitude gardens in Nepal, then layer in aromatic spearmint, dried fennel, and a touch of eucalyptus for a smooth, cooling finish.
Unlike mass-produced mint teas, Makalu Mint offers a complex herbal profile with hints of sweet citrus and zero bitterness. Whether you're seeking a mindful morning ritual or a digestive-friendly afternoon lift, this blend is your go-to for rejuvenation.

Brewing Pro-Tip
Why 160°F matters
Most people make the mistake of using boiling water (212°F) on green tea, which can overwhelm tender leaves and create a bitter, astringent taste. At 160°F, the high-altitude Himalayan green tea base stays smooth and clean—unlocking natural sweetness and letting the subtle eucalyptus and citrus notes shine.
Crafted for a crisp, cooling finish with a bright golden cup and clean, citrusy lift.
