Quality & Sensory

Each batch is harvested and dried to preserve its fresh green color, crisp leaf texture, and bright minty aroma with a distinct lemon-like lift. When cold-brewed or steeped in hot water, it yields a pale golden-green infusion with a cool, refreshing taste and a clean, subtly sweet finish. The stems are plentiful in this cut, which is normal for the lemon-mint variety and does not affect the brew.
