Tea Collection: Morning Dew Green Tea (Global Blend)
Morning Dew Green Tea is a celebration of brightness. It brings together crisp green tea leaves with delicate citrus-fruit highlights, creating a cup that feels like the first breath of a sunlit morning. The aroma rises gently with notes of fresh grass, soft lemon zest and a hint of sweetness that settles like dew on cool leaves. There is a sense of freshness woven through every part of the infusion. Morning Dew is light, invigorating and made for moments when the day begins to open.
Blended green teas have a long history in both East and West, where natural aromatics were added to lift or complement the character of the leaf. Modern Morning Dew blends refine this idea, pairing carefully selected green teas with subtle citrus oils or dried fruit pieces. The goal is never to overpower the leaf, but to enhance it. The result is a cup that remains grounded in clean vegetal flavour while offering a gentle fruit bloom that brightens the finish.
When brewed, the liquor settles into a clear pale gold. The first sip is smooth with a lively brightness that moves quickly across the palate. The green tea provides structure with grassy and lightly savoury notes, while the citrus adds a soft glow at the top of the flavour. The finish is clean and refreshing with a light sweetness that lingers briefly before disappearing like morning mist. This balance is what makes Morning Dew so approachable, especially for readers who find pure green teas either too grassy or too sharp.
For those exploring green tea styles, Morning Dew sits between the straightforward clarity of Sencha and the softer roundness of blends such as Rooibos Vanilla, though its flavour remains distinctly vegetal rather than creamy. To understand how flavour additions transform the drinking experience, the Modern Tea Lover’s Guide provides a helpful foundation, especially in its discussion of scented versus flavoured teas.
Morning Dew also pairs beautifully with teas that highlight fragrance. The gentle floral lift of Jasmine Silver Needle creates a soft, elegant contrast, while the deeper honeyed warmth of Oriental Beauty helps emphasise how fruit brightness differs from natural oolong sweetness. For a sharper counterpoint, tasting it beside the ruby acidity of Hibiscus highlights the difference between gentle citrus and true tartness.
Morning Dew Green Tea is refreshing, graceful and effortless. It carries the feeling of sunlight sliding across a windowsill and the promise of a day that has not yet formed its edges.

Notes
Flavoured green teas benefit from moderate temperatures. Hotter water can dull both the citrus aroma and the underlying green tea sweetness. For a comparative tasting, drink Morning Dew beside Sencha for structural clarity or Jasmine Silver Needle for floral lift. Oriental Beauty offers a deeper exploration of how oxidation transforms sweetness and aroma.
