Compostable Materials: Bag paper is derived from sustainable wood pulp and banana fibre, making it fully home compostable. Ideal Brewing Conditions To unlock the full potential of your Dragonfly Organic Green Mountain, specific thermal techniques are required to prevent burning the delicate leaves. The Barista Hot Serve Measure: Place one tea bag in your favourite cup or pre warmed mug. Water: Crucial Step: Allow boiled water to cool for 2 to 3 minutes (aiming for 80 degrees Celsius). Boiling water will burn the leaves and release bitter tannins. Steep: Infuse for 1 to 3 minutes. A shorter steep highlights the nutty notes; a longer steep brings out more structural grip in 2026. Finish: Best enjoyed plain to appreciate the subtle mountain terroir and pure botanical profile. The Cold Brew Method Concentrate: Place two tea bags in a glass jar with 500ml of cold filtered water. Steep: Seal and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours for a slow extraction. Result: The cold water extracts the natural sweetness and antioxidants without releasing any bitterness, resulting in a crystal clear iced green tea for 2026. Brewing The Perfect Cup of Dragonfly Organic Pure Green Mountain, 40 Tea Bags 80g Water temperature: 80°C (boil the kettle and let it rest for 90 seconds). Boiling water at 100°C destroys the delicate amino acids that give green tea its smooth, sweet character. Measure: One bag per 200ml of water (a standard mug). For loose leaf, use one heaped teaspoon. Steep: 2 to 3 minutes, any longer and the cup turns bitter. Remove the bag promptly; do not squeeze. Service: No milk and no sugar; the natural sweet grassy notes need nothing else. A slice of lemon brightens the cup if you prefer. Cold brew: Drop one bag into 250ml of cold water in a glass jug and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours. The cold method extracts the sweeter compounds preferentially and is the smoothest way to drink green tea on a hot day. Iced version: Brew double strength (one bag in 100ml of 80°C water for 2 minutes), cool, pour over ice and dilute with cold water. Best with: sushi, sashimi, steamed rice dishes, dark chocolate, almond cake.

Lower than a strong black tea but enough to deliver a proper daytime lift. Drink as a morning or afternoon cup rather than a bedtime one if caffeine affects your sleep.🧊 What's actually in the bag?One ingredient: Soil Association certified organic green tea from Zhejiang province in China. No flavouring, no fillers, no other botanicals. Single origin spring flush leaf in cotton stitched bags.⚡ How do I brew it for the best result?Brew at 80°C (not boiling) for 2-3 minutes. Green tea over brewed at full boiling water turns bitter and grassy in seconds. If you can't measure, boil the kettle and let it sit for 30-60 seconds before pouring.🌱 Can I add milk or lemon?Both interfere with the delicate vegetal floral profile. Milk masks the green tea character completely; lemon overpowers the natural sweetness. This is a cup designed to be drunk straight. If you want milk and lemon, real green tea is not the right choice.📦 What does spring flush mean?Spring flush refers to the first harvest of the year, taken in early spring before the leaves harden in the summer heat. Spring flush green tea has higher amino acid content (particularly L theanine, which contributes to the calm focus effect of green tea) and a sweeter, less astringent cup than autumn harvest leaf.☕ Where does the tea come from?Zhejiang province in eastern China, the heartland of Chinese green tea production and home to many of the famous Chinese green styles. Dragonfly works with named smallholder growers in the high altitude mountain gardens of the region; Soil Association audited annually.♻️ Is the tea bag plastic free?Yes. Folded and stitched with organic cotton thread; no plastic glue, no metal staple, fully home compostable. Straight onto the garden bed once the leaf is spent.🌿 Is the carton recyclable?The outer carton is FSC certified, printed with vegetable based inks, and fully kerbside recyclable. Dragonfly offsets the print and packaging footprint via the World Land Trust Carbon Balanced Publication scheme.🥥 How does it compare to a supermarket green tea?Supermarket green tea is typically blended commodity leaf, lower grade, not always organic, packed in glued paper bags. Dragonfly Pure Green Mountain is single origin, Soil Association certified organic, cotton stitched bag, spring flush leaf. The Dragonfly cup is the honest version at roughly twice the per cup price.🌍 How does it compare to matcha?Matcha is a different category, finely ground whole green tea leaf, whisked into water rather than infused. Matcha delivers a stronger umami body, more caffeine (because you consume the whole leaf), and a thicker mouthfeel. Pure Green Mountain is the standard infusion of leaf in water, lighter bodied, easier to drink in volume.🏷️ Can I re brew the bag?Yes, the same bag can be re brewed for a second cup with very little quality loss. Some green tea drinkers consider the second brew superior because the more delicate aromatics emerge after the initial extraction. Use the bag within 30 minutes for the best second cup.🌾 Where is the blend packed?Dragonfly Tea Limited blends and packs in the United Kingdom from Soil Association certified organic Chinese green tea. UK family owned business since 1988. ## Ingredients & Nutrition IngredientProportionWhat it bringsDragonfly Mountain100%The single botanical in this pure infusion selected for Distinctively fresh with a delicate sweetness and subtle roasted chestnut notes.Pack: Dragonfly Organic Pure Green Mountain, 40 Tea Bags 80g; contains tea (caffeinated).

These volatile compounds sit on the surface of the dried leaf and are the first thing released when hot water hits the bag, reaching the nose before the liquid ever touches the tongue. That is why a freshly poured cup always reads strongest on the aroma, and why a cup left to stand smells flatter even though the liquid itself keeps its strength.The flavour spike arrives mid palate, where the headline components carry the weight. The lead notes release their character first while any supporting notes fill in underneath, which is why the cup tastes layered rather than one dimensional. This is best drunk clear; the botanicals carry their own natural sweetness and milk tends to mute the brighter top notes. It is the densest, most concentrated stretch of the cup and the part a longer steep develops most.The base structure is the lingering finish: a clean, gently grassy note that resets the palate and invites the next sip. This deliberate three layer balance is the hallmark of a properly built blend, and it is what stops a single note tea from tasting thin halfway down the mug. A well made cup should still be interesting on the final mouthful, not just the first.Getting it right in the cup. Use one bag per 200 to 250ml and steep for 2 to 3 minutes at around 80°C; under steeping is the most common reason this blend tastes weaker than it should, because the heavier aromatic compounds are the slowest to leave the leaf. Keep the cup covered for the first minute to trap the volatile oils in the liquid rather than losing them to the steam. Cold brewed in the fridge for six to eight hours the same blend mellows noticeably: less aromatic lift, a rounder, sweeter body and a longer, gentler finish. Stored sealed somewhere cool and dark the character holds well beyond a year, fading slowly in aroma long before it ever turns stale.How water and temperature change it. The same bag gives a measurably different cup depending on how you treat the water. Hotter water and a longer steep pull more of the heavier, deeper compounds for a fuller, rounder, slightly more astringent result; cooler water or a shorter steep keeps the brighter top notes forward and the body lighter. Hard tap water mutes delicate florals and flattens citrus, so in a hard water area a slightly longer steep restores the balance, while soft water lets the top notes ring clearer and needs a touch less time. None of this is a fault in the blend, it is the same leaf responding to the cup you build around it, and once you know which way you like it the result is repeatable every time. ## Recipe Ideas The Standard Cup at 80°CThe everyday cup.
