Kanchanjunga Green

The production process at Kanchanjangha Green closely mirrors the traditional method of crafting loose leaf green tea in the Darjeeling Hills. Originating with our tea artisans from Darjeeling in the early 90s, we have honed this technique over time. Meticulously hand-plucked tea leaves are swiftly brought into our factory and promptly subjected to heat in order to halt any potential oxidation. Next, the partially dried leaves undergo a gentle rolling process, breaking their cell walls to release precious oils. Unlike typical green teas, our rolled teas are given time to rest, enhancing their aroma before undergoing a final drying phase. Following this, the teas undergo a meticulous sorting process, where they are crushed and sifted through various machines to separate the finest leaves from stems and flakes, while also grading them by size. Ultimately, the teas are meticulously hand-sorted, resulting in multiple grades of the same tea.
