The bright, fruit-forward middle child of Mt. Pumori’s green-tea trio

Grown at ~6,500 ft on Ilam’s mist-cooled slopes, Emerald Green sits gracefully between 11° Best Green and 111° Special Green. It carries the Special’s silky ease but adds a livelier, fruit-bright lift and a touch more structure—perfect for drinkers who want more personality than 111° and more creaminess than 11°. Hand-crafted in small lots and USDA Certified Organic, it’s a luminous, everyday-luxury green tea with connoisseur depth.

Aroma & Appearance

Long, ribbon-twisted leaves in deep emerald and mossy green hues. On the nose: fresh spring greens, wildflowers, and ripe orchard fruit with a gentle nutty warmth.

Taste Experience

First sip: creamy, silk-smooth body with a bright honey-dew / apricot lift
Mid-palate: balanced vegetal sweetness (young pea shoot, tender bean) layered over a soft, clean earthiness
Finish: polished and refreshing—low bitterness, lightly drying in the most pleasant way, with a quiet nutty echo

If 111° is whisper-soft and 11° is crisp and classic, 95° Emerald is the harmonized chord—fruity, creamy, and confidently smooth.

Why It’s Special

High elevation terroir (~6,500 ft): slow growth concentrates aromatics for a high-fruit, low-bitterness cup.
In-between profile by design: more fruit and cream than 11°, slightly more structure and depth than 111°.
Gentle pan-firing: preserves chlorophyll brightness and silky mouthfeel while polishing tannins.
USDA Certified Organic: clean farming; flavor led by soil, altitude, and patient craft.

Brewing Recommendations

Leaf: 1 tsp (2 g) per 8–10 oz (240–300 ml)
Water: 165–170 °F (74–77 °C)
Time: 3 minutes (for extra brightness, 2:30; for more creaminess, 3:15)
Re-steeps: 3–4 infusions; add ~30–45 sec each round
Iced (flash-chilled): Brew hot at 2× leaf for 2:30, strain over ice—juicy, clean, and wonderfully refreshing..
