Ember & Olive Coffee Co.® Premium Tea – The Emerald Tip Catalyst Green Tea
EMERALD TIP CATALYST • THE FIRST-FLUSH CUP
First-Flush Spring Harvest • Whole Leaf & Downy Tips • Luminous Greenery • Naturally Sweet • Toasted Nutty Depth • 100% Single-Origin
Green tea holds a sacred place at the very heart of global botanical history. According to ancient Chinese lore, tea was discovered in 2737 BCE by the legendary Divine Farmer Shennong, when wild Camellia sinensis leaves drifted on a gentle breeze into his pot of boiling water. Centuries later, during the Tang Dynasty, tea master Lu Yu penned The Classic of Tea, transforming it from a medicinal tonic into a revered art form celebrated by emperors and scholars alike. Zen Buddhist monks adopted the leaves to sustain focused calm during day-long meditation. When you brew these meticulous first-flush tips today, you are participating in an unbroken ritual enjoyed by poets, emperors, and sages for thousands of years — and it deserves far better than a bag built for budget shelves.
Available as 25 plant-based silky pyramid teabags or a 250g loose leaf pouch, both formats are packed with the exact same premium first-flush whole leaves and silver-fuzzed downy tips. You will never find dust or broken fannings here. Most mass-market tea bags contain barely 1.5g of low-grade dust, leaving your brew tasting thin, bitter, and washed out. Our pyramid teabags are generously packed with a heavy-dose 2.5g fill per bag — over 60% more actual tea than traditional luxury department store lines. This spacious, plant-based silky pyramid design gives the whole leaves the ultimate volume of space to fully unfurl, circulate, and breathe, releasing the full luminous sweetness and toasted depth of a true first-flush harvest directly into a full-sized household mug. Prefer to brew loose? The 250g format gives you the same exceptional leaf in its most open, unadulterated form, yielding roughly 125 cups at an unbeatable cost per serving.
