Exquisite Taste and Aroma: High-Mountain Green Tea from Ancient Trees

Our high-mountain green tea from ancient trees unveils a palette of refined sensations, carefully selected by Teemaailm experts for Estonia’s tea community. The dry leaf is a blend of delicate buds and young leaves with a silvery down, exuding a fresh, slightly herbaceous aroma with subtle floral and nutty notes.

With the first infusion, the liquor takes on a light golden or pale green hue, transparent and inviting. The aroma unfolds richer: nuances of spring flowers, a light sweetness, and barely perceptible notes of roasted seeds are added to the freshness. The taste of this tea is unusually soft, without astringency, with a pronounced sweetness that is felt from the very first sip. It impresses with its multi-layered complexity: here is the freshness of mountain air, the delicate sweetness of flowers, and a slight tartness transitioning into a pleasant umami.

Organoleptics that Captivate

The aftertaste is long-lasting, sweet, with a light honeyed hue, leaving a feeling of purity and freshness in the mouth. Each subsequent infusion (and this tea withstands up to 8-10 infusions with proper brewing) reveals new facets of taste and aroma, deepening its character and adding creamy or fruity nuances. The liquor becomes denser, oilier, yet retains its lightness and transparency. This is a true masterpiece of tea art, capable of delivering genuine pleasure and immersing one in a meditative state, revealing the full depth of Eastern tea culture.

High in the mountains, where clouds kiss the peaks and morning mists envelop ancient tea gardens, plantations stretch out, gifting the world this unique tea. Mineral-rich soils, a humid climate, and rarefied air create ideal conditions for the slow growth of tea trees, whose age is measured in decades, and sometimes centuries. These trees, like wise elders, have absorbed the strength of the earth and heavens, passing it on to their delicate leaves. It is said that one such ancient tea bush saved a village from drought, granting an abundant harvest in a year of great famine.
