About High Mountain Green
The Connoisseur's Choice
This is what green tea is supposed to taste like. Grown in the mist-shrouded peaks of China, this organic tea benefits from the "High Mountain Effect." The cool, thin air forces the tea bushes to grow slowly, concentrating the essential oils and sugars in the leaf. The result is a cup that is naturally sweet, incredibly smooth, and completely devoid of bitterness.
Why It Works
Unlike Japanese greens which are steamed (tasting like grass), this Chinese green tea is pan-fired. This halts oxidation while imparting a warm, toasted note often described as "roasted chestnut." It is the perfect tea for someone who finds standard green tea too vegetal or astringent.
The Pure Ritual
Drink it naked. This tea is too delicate for milk or sugar. Brew it at 180°F and sip it plain to appreciate the subtle floral top notes. It is a tea that demands you slow down and pay attention.

FAQs Simply Answered
Are your teas organic?
The Short Answer: Yes. Every single leaf, root, and flower we source is Certified USDA Organic.
The Details: We believe that flavor starts in the soil. We strictly partner with growers who practice sustainable, organic farming, organic approved pesticides, no GMOs, and no "natural flavorings" sprayed on the leaves. While our Salem facility is a dedicated small-batch kitchen (and not yet a certified processing plant), our commitment to 100% organic ingredients is absolute. You are drinking pure nature, nothing else.
What are the "Refill Bags"?
We designed our system to be sustainable.
Our Signature Tin, protects the tea and contains all the detailed brewing and ingredient information.
The Refill: When you run low, you buy a Refill Bag.
Please Note: These biodegradable bags are designed as "Transport Vessels" only. They are not intended for individual sale. Upon arrival, please use the refill bag with into your YBTCO Tin. This ensures your tea stays fresh and you have the correct brewing instructions at hand.
Where is this made?
Handcrafted in Oregon.
Every batch of Yerba Buena tea is blended, tested, and packed in our dedicated tea kitchen in Salem, Oregon. We do not use co-packers or giant industrial machines. We blend in small lots to ensure that the oils are still volatile and the spices are still punchy when they reach your cup. It is a difference you can taste.
Is it safe for allergies (Gluten/Nuts)?
We keep it clean. All YBTCO teas are naturally Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Vegan. Our facility does not process wheat, soy, peanuts, or dairy.
The Coconut Note: The only allergen present in our facility is Coconut (Tree Nut), which is used in specific blends like Maven Blend and Turmeric Spice. We adhere to strict cleaning protocols to prevent cross-contamination, but if you have a severe tree nut allergy, please shop with caution.
When will my order ship?
We know you are ready to brew. Because we hand-pack orders, they typically leave our Oregon kitchen within 2-3 business days.
