Rare Leaves Emerald - Single Estate Pi Lo Chun Green Tea

The green tea for people who think they don't like green tea — naturally sweet, low in bitterness, and quietly remarkable.

Some green teas feel sharp. Rare Leaves Emerald feels sweet. It's a single estate Pi Lo Chun from Zhejiang, China, grown at 400 meters and remarkable for its naturally sweet, low-bitterness character. The profile is unusual in the best way — savory-sweet and layered, soft and clean, with a finish that feels almost brothy.

Brew it slowly and it rewards you with 2–3 infusions, each one revealing something new as the leaves open.

What It Tastes Like

Sweet corn, konbu, and sesame seed — a rare savory-sweet profile that feels calm, elevated, and memorable.

How to Brew

Use cooler water than you would for black tea and shorter steeps. Reinfuse the same leaves 2–3 times, and notice how the sweetness and savory notes shift as the leaves unfurl.

The Rare Leaves Tin

Rare Leaves are packed like the precious things they are: a premium tea caddy CNC milled from a solid block of aluminum, airtight and light-tight to preserve freshness, fully recyclable, and delivered in a sleek magnetic-closure gift box. Ready to give exactly as it arrives.
