A natural treasure to discover
Although green tea plays a major role in the daily lives of the people of Myanmar, they don’t ordinarily ascribe any particular value to it. However, this marvel of nature is anything but ordinary: fresh and floral, it shines with complex notes of citrus and other tropical fruits that reflect its origins. Lively, light and made to enjoy wholeheartedly.
Mogok Tea (Mogok, Myanmar)
The town of Mogok has been famous for its gemstones since ancient times, but their mining destroys the local environment. Mogok Tea was founded by Phyu Thwe to offer the local population an alternative to working in gemstone mining. The company works in harmony with nature on its family-run Five Trees Estate, which is located 1,170 meters above sea level.
Cultivating tea to protect the environment
By providing jobs in tea cultivation, Mogok Tea offers locals an opportunity to achieve financial security without having to participate in the overexploitation of nature by the gemstone industry. Environmental protection is therefore promoted through trainings on the prevention of litter disposed of in the wild, raising awareness of the problem among the population. Enjoy this exceptional green tea that not only delights with its vibrant flavor but also contributes to job creation and environmental conservation in Myanmar. Every sip becomes a mindful contribution to a better future.
