This tea is sold loose leaf, meaning it will not arrive packed in tea bags.
Green tea and black tea come from the same plant, but the leaves are processed differently; black tea is fermented—changing the color and flavor and increasing the caffeine and tannin content—whereas green tea is only dried and sometimes steamed. This green Korakundah tea is grown in the Nilgiri region of India. It produces a bright green infusion with delicate vegetal notes in its aroma and has a slight citrus flavor.  This tea is decaffeinated using the CO2 process developed in Germany as a natural alternative to the methylene chloride process that has become the industry standard. The CO2 method maintains the unique flavors of our premium teas. The smaller leaves are a normal result of this special decaffeination process. Our decaf teas are fine cut and some tea accessories may not be appropriate.
