Sun-Dried Green Tea : Description & Brewing Guide

Tea brewing

Sun-dried green tea stands out thanks to its natural processing method. During production, the leaves are withered directly under the sun, which gives the tea its distinctive character. The aroma reveals notes of sweet herbs and dried fruits. The taste is bright, slightly astringent, with a long, clean finish. This tea is ideal for focused work and mental clarity, making it a great choice for those who enjoy green tea with a natural, lively profile.

Our farmers harvest this tea at the very beginning of the season — in April and May, when nature is just awakening. The young tea shoots, refreshed after winter, develop a vibrant and energetic character — much like spring itself. This tea offers a refreshing, toning, and focusing effect.

Why 1 g per 100 ml? Isn’t that too little?
