Fresh, grassy green tea from the high hills of Nepal — pan-fired within hours of picking to lock in its clean, vegetal character and natural antioxidants.

This tea is grown on the cooler slopes of eastern Nepal, on gardens that sit between 3,000 and 7,000 feet. Green tea is usually picked from the same bushes as our black tea — the difference isn't the plant, it's how fast the leaf gets fixed after picking.
Every leaf here is still hand-picked, the way it's been done on these hillsides for generations, by farming families Himalko buys directly from. No brokers stacked in between, no blending in leaf from elsewhere to stretch a batch.
Most green tea on grocery shelves sits for hours before processing, which lets oxidation creep in and dull the color. This is the fast, orthodox way.
Two leaves and a bud, taken by hand from gardens at 3,000–7,000 ft.
A brief rest to soften the leaf — much shorter than the wither for black tea.
Quick high heat halts oxidation almost immediately, locking in color and grassy flavor.
Shaped lightly by hand to release aroma without bruising the leaf.
Finished at low heat to protect the delicate character, then sorted by hand.
Straight from the product description, in plain terms.
Fresh-cut grass with a light vegetal sweetness — nothing roasted or smoky about it.
Clean and light, with a gentle vegetal note that stays smooth if you don't over-steep it.
Crisp and refreshing, without the heaviness or tannin bite of black tea.
Himalko buys straight from small growers in Nepal — fewer middlemen, fresher leaf, and more of what you spend actually reaches the people who grew it.
Most bagged green tea is machine-dried at scale, which flattens flavor. This leaf is fixed and rolled by hand in small batches.
Every batch comes from the same hillside gardens — no blending in filler leaf from elsewhere to bulk up the box.
Speed matters more for green tea than any other kind — ours is fixed the same day it's picked, not days later after a long trip to a processing plant.
This is the real tube — mountain-line logo, a hand-drawn tea shoot on the front, and the full brew guide (hot, iced, and cold-brew instructions) printed right on the back, so you're never digging through a drawer for a card you lost.
No shrink-wrap, no plastic tin, no printed inserts to throw away separately. Just one recyclable tube, front to back.
A thin foil liner sits inside the tube itself — isolating the leaf from outside air and moisture — so the outer packaging can stay simple cardboard without the tea losing freshness.
