STG Gobuk Green Tea – Vegetal, Floral and Delicately Toasted

STG Gobuk Green Tea is a whole-leaf green tea handcrafted in Gobuk village, in the Upper Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh. Nestled high in the mountains, this remote village of the Adi people is surrounded by misty forests and extraordinary biodiversity. The tea grows slowly in the cool mountain air, with small plots, sparse harvests and careful craftsmanship contributing to its distinctive character.
