Green Tea
Two Leaves and a Bud is notoriously picky about sourcing only organic, whole leaf green tea that provides delicious, yummy flavor! Our green teas are sourced in China, where green tea originated over 1500 years ago. We use the Japanese method of hot steaming the leaves after harvesting, which preserves the health benefiting qualities of green tea.
We demand a lot from a cup of tea – and now you can too.
Two Leaves and a Bud's Green Teas are:
Green tea is made from leaves that have been unoxidized. The leaves are hand harvested with care to keep the leaves whole and unbroken preventing oxidization. The leaves are steamed to capture the green color and flavor and any further unintended oxidization. This minimal and gentle processing of the leaves gives green tea superior antioxidant and polyphenol levels, as more of the health benefiting qualities of the tea leaves are preserved. Green tea contains low levels of caffeine and often can be enjoyed throughout the day.

We like malty tea from Assam, moderately astringent Darjeeling, and matcha lattes that aren’t too sweet. We like it when the tea, herbs and spices in our tea sachets and latte mixes stand out and become the reason we look forward to the next sip. We’re particular about tea that comes from sustainable, organic gardens where the pluckers are paid fairly. We’re also particular about sourcing packaging that keeps our tea fresh but doesn’t have to end up in a landfill.
