Why green tea?
Simple tea, made well.
Green tea is one of the oldest everyday rituals in the world. We think it deserves to be fresh, honest and easy to enjoy.
Our story
How The Delicious Plant started
The Delicious Plant started with a simple belief: great green tea shouldn't be complicated, so we made it simple.
Hi, my name is Quinton the founder of The Delicious Plant green tea. The purpose of this brand is simply because I wanted to introduce the wonderful benefits and overall enjoyment to which green tea can bring to all of you, so to all who are here reading this, thank you.
What we believe
Three promises in every bag
-
01
A small lineup, chosen carefully
We don't chase every trend. We carry a handful of teas we'd happily drink every day, and we add new ones only when they earn a spot.
-
02
Honest about every tea
Each tea tells you its taste, its caffeine level and how many cups a bag really makes, so you know what you're getting before you buy.
-
03
Loose leaf, never dust
Whole leaves unfurl as they steep, giving a fuller, cleaner cup than the broken leaf found in most tea bags.

Origins · Japan
Steamed, shaded and bright
Japanese green teas are steamed soon after picking, which keeps their vivid colour and fresh, grassy character.
Our Sencha comes from Shizuoka, Japan's best-known tea region. Our Gyokuro is shaded for its final weeks of growth, building a deep, sweet umami flavour.
Origins · China
Pan-fired, hand-rolled and fragrant
Many Chinese green teas are pan-fired instead of steamed, giving a softer, toasty, sweeter cup.
Dragon Well is pressed flat by hand in a wok. Bi Luo Chun is rolled into tiny spirals from young spring buds. Jasmine Dragon Pearls are layered with fresh jasmine blossoms over several nights.
