What Makes a Great Green Tea?
Green tea is the most delicate category in the tea world. The same leaf that makes black tea — if handled differently, steamed or pan-fired instead of oxidised — becomes green tea: lighter in colour, gentler in flavour, and packed with the natural compounds that make it one of the most studied wellness beverages in the world.
The quality of the leaf matters enormously. Lower grade green teas taste flat, grassy, or bitter. Super fine grade green tea — the grade Lakhi's uses — is made from young, tender leaves picked at the right moment. The result is a cup that is clean and fresh with a natural sweetness and no bitterness when brewed correctly.
Northeast India — An Underrated Green Tea Origin
Most people associate green tea with China or Japan. But the high-grown gardens of Northeast India — Assam, Darjeeling, and the Nilgiris — produce green teas of exceptional quality that are far less known internationally. The combination of altitude, rainfall, and mineral-rich soil creates leaves with a distinctive character: lighter than Chinese green teas, more delicate than Japanese, with a natural freshness that is uniquely Indian.
Lakhi's sources exclusively from these gardens — supporting Indian tea culture and bringing you a green tea that is genuinely local and genuinely premium.
What Makes This Lakhi's?
No flavours. No additives. No processing shortcuts. Just super fine grade green tea from high-grown Northeast Indian gardens, packed fresh and sealed airtight. The same consistent quality since 1975 — because great tea needs nothing added to it.
