🍃 Product Overview: Ana Bagrationi green tea is a premium-quality Georgian green tea grown and produced in the Guria tea-producing region of western Georgia, in the mountainous village of Anaseuli-an area with a long-standing tradition of high-quality tea production and an ideal microclimate for tea cultivation.

🌱 Raw Material and Harvesting: Tea bushes are cultivated in natural local conditions, with clean mountain air, fertile soil, and balanced humidity, all of which contribute to the tea’s distinctive character. Only young and healthy leaves (a bud and two leaves) are carefully hand-picked at optimal maturity, ensuring strict quality control from the earliest stage and preserving the integrity of the raw material.

⚙️ Technology: The production process uses the steamed green tea method, aimed at preserving the leaf’s natural chemical composition as much as possible. Freshly picked leaves undergo thermal treatment, which stops oxidation and maintains their natural green color and bioactive compounds. The leaves are then shaped, gently rolled, and dried at controlled temperatures, ensuring product stability and a clean flavor profile.

💨 Fixation: In Anaseuli green tea production, fixation rapidly halts oxidation, maintaining a fermentation level of 0–5%, a bright color, and a fresh vegetal aroma. The leaves are exposed to high-pressure steam for approximately 30–60 seconds, making them slightly soft and elastic for further rolling.

🌀 Leaf Rolling: After fixation, rolling partially breaks the cellular structure and stabilizes the shape, enhancing flavor and aroma extraction. This process takes place in rolling machines, with leaf moisture remaining around 60–70% and a duration of approximately 20–40 minutes.

🔥 Drying: The goal is to reduce leaf moisture to 3–5%, stop enzymatic activity, and stabilize flavor. Drying occurs at 80–120°C for about 15–30 minutes. As a result, the leaves retain their bright green color and grassy aroma and are ready for packaging.

🍂 Appearance: The dry leaves are rolled, with color ranging from light green to emerald. The surface has a slight sheen, reflecting the stability of essential oils and the natural synergy of delicate vegetal aromas.

🍵 Infusion Color: The infusion ranges from clear golden to light green tones, reflecting the purity of the raw material and the precision of fixation and rolling processes.

👃 Organoleptic Profile: It features a harmonious and balanced aroma-flavor profile. Initial perception reveals vegetal notes, followed by light floral tones, while the finish is enriched with subtle roasted nut nuances.

👅 Taste: Soft, low in tannins, and well-balanced, with minimal astringency, a sweet finish, and a gentle vegetal sweetness, making it a pleasant drink for everyday consumption.

🧪 Chemical Composition: Anaseuli green tea is rich in bioactive compounds. Polyphenols range from 24–36%, including 8–12% catechins that provide strong antioxidant protection. Amino acids at 3–5%, including L-theanine, contribute to mild sweetness and improved concentration. Caffeine content of 20–35 mg/100 ml delivers gentle stimulation. Essential oils at 0.4–0.6% create refined floral and vegetal aromas, while proteins and minerals at 1–2% enhance nutritional value and structural stability.

💪 Functional Properties: Strong antioxidant activity, support for mental performance and concentration, stimulation of metabolism and digestion, and a mild energizing effect.

🍃 Similarity to Other Teas: Anaseuli green tea, with its natural taste and processing method, resembles well-known teas such as Sencha, Gyokuro, Longjing, Bi Luo Chun, Jeoncha, and Maofeng, as all are produced through similar processes—fixation, rolling, and drying—which preserve the tea’s natural qualities.

☕ Preparation: Recommended water temperature is 75–85°C, using 2–3 grams of tea per 200–250 ml of water, with a steeping time of 2–3 minutes.

🥗 Usage and Pairing: Suitable for daily consumption; pairs well with light dishes, salads, honey, nuts, as well as desserts, biscuits, and almond-based sweets.

📜 Certification and Quality: The product is bio-certified, contains no artificial additives, and is controlled at every stage of production for quality parameters.

📦 Packaging and Shelf Life: The tea is packaged in food-safe packaging that preserves its aroma, color, and freshness. When stored in a cool, dry, and light-protected environment, its shelf life is 3 years.

📝 Summary: Grown in the serene natural environment of western Georgia, Anaseuli green tea stands out for its purity, balanced taste, and refined aroma. Its delicate and nuanced infusion is ideal both on its own and with light sweets, transforming everyday moments into a calm and enjoyable experience.
