Origin & Ingredients:

• Green Tea Base: Steamed Sencha from Japan’s Shizuoka region or Dragon Well (Longjing) from China, retaining crisp vegetal character.

• Tropical Essence: Freeze-dried pineapple (Philippines), mango (India), and papaya (Thailand).

• Spice Symphony: Cardamom (Guatemala), lemongrass (Vietnam), and a whisper of saffron (Iran).

• Botanical Twist: Butterfly pea flowers (Southeast Asia) for color alchemy.

Appearance:

• Dry Leaves: Emerald-green tea leaves flecked with golden fruit chunks, crimson saffron threads, and indigo butterfly pea petals.

• Liquor: Brews to a luminous jade-green hue, shifting to violet with a squeeze of citrus (pH-reactive butterfly pea).

Flavor Profile:

• Aroma: A carnival of ripe mango, zesty lemongrass, and cardamom’s warm sweetness.

• First Sip: Bright green tea tang meets pineapple’s tropical burst.

• Mid-Palate: Cardamom and saffron weave earthy-spicy depth, balanced by papaya’s mellow creaminess.

• Finish: Clean, slightly peppery, with a lingering floral whisper from butterfly pea.
