Artisan Craftsmanship & Ethical Sourcing

Our Nepali oolong is hand-picked from family-owned gardens in the Himalayan foothills, where generations of artisan tea makers have perfected their craft. We work directly with these producers, ensuring fair compensation and sustainable, chemical-free cultivation practices. The tea is partially oxidized using traditional methods, creating the perfect balance between green and black tea characteristics. Dehydrated bananas are sourced from ethical suppliers committed to quality and sustainability.

Health Benefits & Wellness

Oolong tea is rich in antioxidants that support overall health, improve digestion, and enhance mental alertness and focus. The partial fermentation process creates unique polyphenols that may support metabolism and cardiovascular health. With moderate caffeine content (30-50mg per cup), Golden Time of Day provides gentle, sustained energy—ideal for afternoon refreshment or a mindful morning ritual.
