Nepal Hills Organic Light Green Tea | Loose Leaf Ilam Nepal 5,500ft | 50g Low Caffeine

Organic Light Green Tea is a soft, clean-tasting single-origin green tea from Ilam, Nepal — grown at 5,500 ft above sea level on Farmers Tea Co.’s certified organic farm. Gentle spring greens, mild sweetness, and a crisp cucumber-like freshness. Low caffeine, no bitterness, and drinkable any time of day — including evening.

The Story of Organic Light Green Tea

Most green teas are bitter because they were grown at lower elevations, processed too fast, or picked too late. This one is different from the ground up. Grown at 5,500 ft in the Ilam district, on a certified organic farm run by Farmers Tea Co., the leaves develop slowly in the cool mountain air — building natural sweetness and delicate flavour without the grassy harshness that puts most people off green tea for life.

Dil Kumar Rai and the youth artisans at Farmers Tea Co. have been refining this process year after year. The organic certification is not a marketing label — it is the result of deliberate farming practice that respects the soil, the plant, and the people who drink it. The low caffeine content (roughly 20–30mg per cup) makes this one of the few teas in the range that works as a true any-time-of-day cup.

Why Organic Light Green Tea Is Different

• Certified organic farm — grown at 5,500 ft in Ilam without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers
• Low caffeine (~20–30mg per cup) — suitable for evening drinking and caffeine-sensitive individuals
• Naturally sweet and clean — the altitude eliminates the bitterness and harshness common in most green teas
• Single-origin from Farmers Tea Co., Ilam — every gram traceable to one farm, one region
• Purchasing this helps support farms like Farmers Tea Co. maintain organic certification through our 5% back to farm program
