Siam Vital’s Handpicked Green Tea is produced in the foothills of Mt. Kanchenjunga in eastern Nepal, where cool mountain air, high elevations and mineral-rich soils create favorable conditions for premium Himalayan teas. Grown at elevations of up to 2,300 meters above sea level, this tea reflects the craftsmanship for which Nepalese green teas have become increasingly appreciated around the world.
Handpicked Green Tea is harvested according to the traditional two-leaves-and-one-bud standard. The leaves are selected by hand in small batches during the growing season, creating a balanced tea with consistency, freshness and character.
Shortly after harvesting, the leaves are gently heated to prevent further oxidation before being lightly roasted. This minimal oxidation preserves the tea’s natural green colour, fresh aroma and delicate flavour.
When brewed, Handpicked Green Tea produces a clear yellow-green infusion with gentle floral aromas, subtle grassy notes and a clean finish. A delicate vegetal character may also be present, reflecting the tea’s careful processing and whole-leaf quality.
Because the tea undergoes only minimal oxidation, many of the naturally occurring compounds found in the young leaves remain largely preserved.
Each batch is independently tested to confirm compliance with European quality and safety standards, resulting in a high-quality product that reflects Siam Vital’s philosophy of connecting traditional practices with mindful, modern living.
Handpicked Green Tea is part of the Siam Vital Discovery Ritual, alongside Handpicked White Tea, Agaricus Mushroom Powder, Reishi Mushroom Powder and 5% Full Spectrum CBD Oil. The ritual brings together different Siam Vital product types and flavour profiles in one varied introduction to the range.
Enjoying Handpicked Green Tea as a Daily Ritual
Handpicked Green Tea is well suited to mornings, quiet afternoons or moments that call for a lighter alternative to black tea. Its fresh flavour, gentle grassy notes make it easy to enjoy throughout the day.
The whole leaves release their flavour gradually during infusion and may be steeped two or three times. Later infusions are typically lighter while revealing softer floral notes and a smoother finish.
As part of the Siam Vital Discovery Ritual, Handpicked Green Tea provides the green tea element alongside Handpicked White Tea, Agaricus Mushroom Powder, Reishi Mushroom Powder and 5% Full Spectrum CBD Oil.
Ingredients
100% naturally grown Nepal green tea (whole leaf)
Preparation
Use 1 teaspoon of Handpicked Green Tea (approximately 2 g) per cup.
Pour fresh water heated to approximately 65–75°C over the leaves and steep for 2–3 minutes. Avoid using boiling water, as higher temperatures can increase bitterness and reduce the tea’s delicate floral and grassy character.
The whole leaves may be infused two or three additional times. Use water at the same temperature and increase the steeping time slightly with each infusion. Later brews are usually lighter while remaining fresh and balanced.
Adjust the quantity of tea and steeping time according to personal preference.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Reseal tightly after opening to preserve freshness.
Keep out of the reach of children.
