Specialized shade growing boosts L-theanine, an amino acid found to promote calm while improving mental focus & creativity. An excellent low-caffeine alternative to matcha (matcha also contains L-theanine but is high in caffeine). Dark green tea leaves are rolled into a shape reminiscent of pine needles. Sip on its own, or add a pinch to any fave tea to benefit from L-theanine. Our Special Reserve Tea Collection celebrates the art of tea craftsmanship, supports biodiversity, the environment and small scale tea farmers. Requiring great skill to produce, many of the teas in this collection can take a Tea Maker over 10 years to learn and by purchasing these teas you’re helping keep these traditions and unique tea varietals alive and thriving. Exposure to light, heat and air causes flavour loss as well as the nutrient value of tea to decline, so be sure to store this tea in the package it came in.
