Why You’ll Love It

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.

Spring White Buds is a spring-picked Organic Loose Leaf White Tea that offers a vibrant and refreshing representation of springtime in Nepal. Its yellow straw-hued liquor has aromatic notes of wildflowers, muscat grape, and clover, accented by subtle notes of nasturtium and barley. It is a wonderful option for an afternoon cup of tea.

This unique, artisan tea is a vibrant expression of the fresh Himalayan spring. A silver leaf and a bud were carefully plucked in April and quickly oxidized. The first sip of the lovely straw infusion reveals a delicate balance of stone fruit, asparagus, and sweet grass. The finish is smooth and buttery.
