Crisp and bright with a clean, refreshing lift. Delicate grassy notes and subtly savory undertones unfold into hints of fresh hay, forest floor, and soft vegetal earthiness.

Unlike traditional green tea, Pedernales is naturally low in tannins — so there is no bitterness hiding at the bottom of your cup, even if you forget about it on the counter.
