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.

Serve it with a cube of sugar, dried fruits, or green raisins for the full experience.

Brewing the Perfect Cup of Green Tea

Origin: Kunar Province, Afghanistan

Ingredients: 100% pure tea leaves

Naturally dried. No additives. No preservatives.

How to make Afghani green tea (Chai Sabz ) at home?

The process is simple, soothing, and very aromatic. Here is the traditional way to brew it.

Use 1 teaspoon of loose leaves for every 2 cups of fresh water.

Optional traditional additions include crushed cardamom pods or a few strands of saffron.

You may add sugar or honey if you prefer a sweeter profile for your daily brew.

Steps

  1. Boil water in a kettle or traditional pot.
  2. Add the dry leaves and your choice of cardamom or saffron.
  3. Lower heat and steep for 5–10 minutes. Do not over-boil to avoid bitterness.
  4. Strain into a cup to remove the loose leaves from the liquid.
  5. Sweeten lightly if desired, or drink plain for a clean, authentic taste.
