Tropic of Capricorn - Dragonfruit Melon Green Tea

A green tea that tastes like somewhere else entirely — sweet melon, cool eucalyptus, and a finish as light as sea air.

Some afternoons ask for something different. Tropic of Capricorn starts with syrupy-sweet muskmelon, lifts with a subtle cooling note of eucalyptus, then sharpens just slightly with tart lemongrass and rosehip before finishing airy and smooth on dragonfruit. Underneath it all is a Zhejiang sencha green tea — clean, gentle, and free of the bitterness that turns so many people away from green tea.

It's naturally sweet with nothing added, and it truly comes alive over ice.

What It Tastes Like

Muskmelon, eucalyptus leaves, and lemongrass, with a light dragonfruit finish. Fruity without being candy-sweet, with a clean, cooling edge that makes each sip feel like a small reset.

How to Brew

Use about one tablespoon (3.5 g) of loose tea per 10 oz of water at 175°F and steep 4–5 minutes. For iced tea, brew a strong concentrate with just enough hot water to cover the leaves, then dilute with cold water and pour over ice.
