About High Mountain Green

An exceptionally smooth and elegant tea from the misty, high-altitude gardens of China. Our organic High Mountain Green is a testament to its pristine origins. Grown at a slower pace in the cool mountain air, the tea leaves develop a more complex and concentrated flavor, resulting in a cup that is remarkably smooth, sweet, and deeply satisfying.

This is a tea for moments of quiet appreciation. Its flavor is delicate and floral, with a whisper of toasted chestnut and a clean, refreshing finish completely free of bitterness. It’s a refined, connoisseur's cup that showcases the pure, elevated character of a truly premium green tea.

Organic Ingredients
  • Organic Green Tea
Tasting Notes

Aroma: A delicate, sweet floral scent with a hint of fresh hay.

Flavor: Exceptionally smooth and clean, with notes of fresh greens and a whisper of toasted chestnut.

Finish: Light and refreshing, with a lingering sweetness and no bitterness.

Why You'll Love It

The High-Altitude Difference: Tea grown at high elevations matures more slowly, allowing the leaves to develop higher concentrations of flavor compounds. This results in a tea that is naturally sweeter, more aromatic, and significantly smoother than teas grown at lower altitudes.

A Connoisseur's Cup: This tea represents a step up in the world of green tea. Tea lovers prize its nuanced, delicate flavor profile and best enjoy it on its own, allowing its subtle complexities to shine. It’s an authentic taste of tea terroir.

Your Questions About High Mountain Green, Answered.

How is this different from your Green Sencha?

High Mountain Green is prized for its delicacy and floral sweetness from its high-altitude growing environment. Green Sencha is a classic Japanese tea with a more distinctly grassy and savory "umami" character. Explore all our Green Teas.

Why is the brewing temperature lower for this tea?

The delicate leaves of this premium green tea are sensitive to high heat. Using cooler water (around 180°F) prevents any bitterness and preserves the tea's natural sweetness and complex floral notes.

Can I add sugar or milk to this tea?

To fully appreciate its nuanced flavor, we highly recommend enjoying this tea plain. Its natural sweetness and smooth character are its greatest strengths and can be easily masked by additives.

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.
