Organic Light Green Tea is a soft, clean-tasting single-origin green tea from Ilam, Nepal — grown at 5,500 ft above sea level on Farmers Tea Co.'s certified organic farm. Gentle spring greens, mild sweetness, and a crisp cucumber-like freshness. Low caffeine, no bitterness, and drinkable any time of day — including evening. The Story of Organic Light Green Tea Most green teas are bitter because they were grown at lower elevations, processed too fast, or picked too late. This one is different from the ground up. Grown at 5,500 ft in the Ilam district, on a certified organic farm run by Farmers Tea Co., the leaves develop slowly in the cool mountain air — building natural sweetness and delicate flavour without the grassy harshness that puts most people off green tea for life. Dil Kumar Rai and the youth artisans at Farmers Tea Co. have been refining this process year after year. The organic certification is not a marketing label — it is the result of deliberate farming practice that respects the soil, the plant, and the people who drink it. The low caffeine content (roughly 20–30mg per cup) makes this one of the few teas in the range that works as a true any-time-of-day cup.

Brew at a lower temperature — 75–80°C, never boiling — for 2–3 minutes. The result is soft, spring-fresh sweetness with mild vegetal notes and none of the bitterness that puts many North Americans off green tea." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How much caffeine is in Organic Light Green Tea?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Organic Light Green Tea contains approximately 20–30mg of caffeine per 8 oz cup — significantly less than black tea or coffee. High-altitude growing also increases L-theanine, which creates a calm, focused energy rather than stimulation. Many customers drink this tea in the late afternoon or evening without affecting their sleep." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What does Organic Light Green Tea taste like?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Organic Light Green Tea has a soft, clean profile: gentle spring greens, mild natural sweetness, and a light vegetal character — nothing sharp or grassy.
