About Golden Gate Green

A vibrant and invigorating tea inspired by the city we call home. Our Golden Gate Green is a tribute to the dynamic energy of San Francisco, a perfect blend to cut through the morning fog. We start with a base of fresh, grassy organic green tea and infuse it with a lively trio of zesty orange peel, bright lemongrass, and a warming kick of spicy ginger.

This organic green tea blend is as unique and refreshing as a walk across the iconic bridge on a brisk day. It’s a cup full of character, designed to awaken your senses, sharpen your focus, and put a bright, zesty step in your day.

Organic Ingredients
  • Organic Ginger Root
  • Organic Orange Peel
  • Organic Green Tea
  • Organic Lemongrass
Tasting Notes

Aroma: A bright, invigorating scent of fresh ginger and citrus.

Flavor: A zesty wave of lemongrass and orange peel is quickly followed by a pleasant, warming spice from the ginger root.

Finish: Clean and crisp, grounded by the smooth, vegetal notes of the green tea base.

Why You'll Love It

A Fog-Lifting Formula: This blend is your secret weapon for a bright start. The gentle caffeine and L-theanine from the green tea provide clear, focused energy, while the zesty ginger and citrus act as a vibrant wake-up call for your senses. For another energizing ginger blend, try our caffeine-free Lemon Ginger Mint.

A Tribute to Our City: We crafted this tea to capture the spirit of San Francisco—a little spicy, full of bright character, and always refreshing. It’s our way of sharing the invigorating energy of the Bay Area in a cup.

Your Questions About Golden Gate Green, Answered.

How is this different from your Lemon Ginger Mint?

This blend is built on a caffeinated green tea base, providing focused energy. Our Lemon Ginger Mint is a caffeine-free herbal blend designed for soothing and relaxation.

Is the ginger flavor very strong?

The ginger provides a pleasant, warming spice that you can definitely taste, but it's carefully balanced with the bright citrus notes so it isn't overwhelming. It adds warmth, not intense heat.

Why brew this with cooler water?

The green tea base in this blend is delicate. Using water that is too hot (boiling) can scorch the leaves and create a bitter taste. Cooler water (around 175°F) ensures a smooth, sweet, and flavorful cup.

FAQs Simply Answered

Are YBTCO’s Teas Truly Organic?

Yes, every ingredient we source is certified USDA Organic. Our commitment is to craft our blends using only teas and botanicals from growers whose agricultural practices steward a better tomorrow.

While Yerba Buena Tea Co. as a company has not yet completed its own formal USDA Organic certification, our standards for purity and sustainability are unwavering. When you sip our tea, you’re tasting a commitment to clean soil, fresh air, and the honest labor of growers who share our belief that tea should be as good for the earth as it is for your cup. You can taste this commitment in our Connoisseur Collection.

Where Are Your Teas Blended and Packaged?

Every YBTCO tea is hand-blended in small batches in our dedicated tea kitchen located in beautiful Salem, Oregon.

Our process is slow by design. Blending in small lots allows us to ensure every pouch delivers maximum freshness, flavor, and the just-picked aroma that makes our teas special. It's a level of craftsmanship you can taste in every cup, especially in our Connoisseur Collection. We package each order with care so you can enjoy a touch of the Pacific Northwest, wherever you are.

Do Your Teas Contain Allergens or Gluten?

Your safety and enjoyment matter deeply to us. All YBTCO teas are naturally gluten-free and blended in a dedicated facility that does not process tree nuts (except coconut), wheat, barley, or rye.

The only common allergen you’ll find in our collection is coconut, which we use in select blends like our Maven Blend for its creamy, tropical note. We use no added flavorings, colorings, or artificial ingredients, just whole leaves, spices, and botanicals as nature intended.

If you have specific questions or sensitivities, our team is always happy to help you find the perfect tea with peace of mind. Please feel free to contact us.

What Is Your Tea Refill?

We believe good tea, and good habits, should be sustainable. That’s why YBTCO offers our teas in two forms to reduce waste and keep your tea fresh:

  • Start with a Signature Tin: Our beautiful, reusable, and recyclable tins are perfect for keeping your tea fresh on the shelf. They also make a wonderful present, which is why they are featured in our Gifts for Tea Lovers Collection.

  • Restock with a Refill Bag: When you're running low, simply order a refill bag to top up your tin. Our refill bags use minimal packaging and ensure you always have the freshest possible tea on hand.

This practice means less environmental impact and a ritual that feels good every time you open the lid.

What Is Your Shipping Policy?

We strive to get your tea to you as quickly and efficiently as possible so you can start enjoying it. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Processing Time: All orders are hand-packed with care and typically ship from our Salem, Oregon tea kitchen within 2 - 3 business days.
  • Shipping Methods: We ship via USPS and UPS. You will be able to select your preferred carrier and shipping speed during checkout.
  • Shipping Costs: Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on the weight of your order and your location. We offer free standard shipping on all orders over $70.
  • Order Tracking: Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email confirmation with a tracking number so you can follow your tea's journey to your door.
