Summer is for lighter pours. Teas grown at altitude carry a freshness and floral lift that pairs perfectly with hot afternoons — whether brewed gongfu style or cold-steeped overnight.

Summer calls for lighter teas — high mountain oolongs and crisp greens that refresh without weighing you down.

Education
High mountain, light body
Tea grown above 1,000 meters develops more slowly. Cooler nights and morning mists slow the leaves' growth, concentrating their flavor and softening their tannins.
GABA processing — a controlled, oxygen-free fermentation — gives the tea a calming quality without losing the bright, floral character of the high mountain leaf.
In summer, brew it cold overnight or hot in small steeps. Either way, it stays refreshing through the day.
