Afghani Green Tea (1 LB)
Handpicked Green Tea is a tradition from the lush valleys of Kunar, Afghanistan.
Experience the pure, refreshing taste of tea from the mountainous province of Kunar, Afghanistan.
The region is renowned for its lush greenery, crystal-clear rivers, and centuries-old tea-growing traditions.
Grown on small family farms, this authentic Afghani green tea is carefully handpicked by local farmers.
The leaves are lightly pan-fired and sun-dried using traditional methods to preserve their vibrant color.
This process ensures a delicate, earthy flavor with a clean, smooth cup and grassy notes.
Enjoy a hint of natural sweetness in every sip, free from additives, artificial flavors, or preservatives.
In Afghan culture, high-quality tea is more than just a drink—it is a way of life.
A pot of tea (locally called “chai sabz”) symbolizes hospitality, warmth, and community.
It is shared during family meals, business meetings, or casual visits to welcome guests home.
It’s often enjoyed with cardamom or saffron for a floral aroma.
