Our tea

Embark on a journey of unparalleled tea experience with Komaen, a tea like no other, handpicked from the lush landscapes of the Komaen village in Phongsali province, Laos. Nestled at altitudes ranging from 800 to 1400 meters, the expansive tea trees thrive in this mountainous haven, creating a tea that is truly exceptional.

Unlike conventional green teas, Komaen tea grows on towering trees, meticulously harvested by skilled tea pickers who ascend to the tree’s summit to pluck only the finest shoots and leaves. Transported in bamboo baskets, these precious leaves undergo traditional, manual processing within 5 to 8 hours of picking, ensuring the preservation of the tea’s distinctive character.

Immerse yourself in the legacy of a 400-year-old tea plantation, earning Komaen its moniker, “400-year-old tea.” Cultivated without the use of fertilizers or pesticides, this green tea is a testament to purity and natural essence. The entire journey, from cultivation to packaging, is a labor of love, executed with precision and commitment to preserving tradition.

Wrapped by hand in bamboo, honoring a time when plastic was unheard of, Komaen exudes elegance. Presented in a cigar-like form with a convenient string for easy kitchen storage, this tea is not just a beverage but a visual delight and a thoughtful gift for yourself or a loved one.

Preparing Komaen Phongsali green tea is a breeze – just 2 to 3 grams are all you need to savor its delightful taste. For added convenience, use a dosing spoon or choose from specially crafted tea strainers that keep the leaves at bay, ensuring a seamless sipping experience.

As you relish a cup of Komaen Phongsali green tea, you’ll not only savor its unique flavor profile but also connect with centuries of rich history and craftsmanship. Unlike typical green teas, Komaen is mild and soft on the palate, offering nuanced notes ranging from a hint of honey in spring to a subtle rice undertone in the late season. This is a tea that transcends the ordinary – Komaen Phongsali green tea is an invitation to a world of extraordinary taste and timeless tradition. Don’t miss out on this exceptional tea – it’s an experience worth savoring!
