What Is Mayıs Tea?

Mayıs Tea takes its name from the month of May, when the tea plant — dormant under snow through winter — produces its very first leaves as the snow melts. This first flush is famously fresher than the three subsequent harvests of the year. Thanks to that freshness and the distinctive flavour imparted by snowmelt water, Mayıs tea holds a prized place in every connoisseur's tasting collection.

The appeal of Mayıs tea lies in the aroma of its spring freshness. Fed by snowmelt, the tea plant yields its first tender green leaves with a truly unique flavour. Because of the exceptional taste it leaves on the palate, dedicated tea lovers place great value on the May harvest and are willing to pay a premium for it over other seasonal picks.

What Are the Characteristics of Mayıs Tea?

Mayıs tea stands out not only for its flavour but also for the qualities that make its drinkers feel fortunate. As the first harvest, the leaves have not yet become woody, giving this flush a higher antioxidant content compared to later harvests. Carrying all the positive attributes associated with spring, the May harvest captures the accumulated energy of the soil in a single cup. When you are looking for a fresh, superbly aromatic tea with high antioxidant content, you can count on the May harvest.
