Summary

Rwandan Green is a premium green tea sourced from a small farm in Rwanda, nestled in the mountains at an altitude of about 1800 meters above sea level. The tea is characterized by its dark green leaves which steep into a shining, lime green cup. The flavor profile is smooth and mild with a unique, elusive savory note that sets it apart from other green teas.

History

Green tea has a storied history, with its origins tracing back to ancient China. However, Rwandan Green represents a newer chapter in the global tea narrative, highlighting Rwanda's emerging role as a significant tea producer. The cultivation of tea in Rwanda began in the 1950s, but it is only in recent decades that Rwandan teas have gained recognition for their quality on the international stage. The unique climate and volcanic soil in the Rwandan highlands impart a distinct character to the tea, distinguishing it from its Asian counterparts.

Why We Love It
