Makaibari Silver Green | Green Tea

Developed by Makaibari in the early 1980s, Silver Green holds the distinction of being the first green tea crafted in Darjeeling. Originally created for personal consumption, it remained a well-kept secret within the estate. However, growing appreciation from fellow tasters, rising demand from those lucky enough to sample it, and a global shift toward healthier living led to its inclusion in Makaibari’s commercial portfolio.

Silver Green is plucked from the steep, mist-kissed slopes of the Makaibari Hills between June and November, during the prime months of the green tea harvest. Its appearance is a visual treat—pale green leaves delicately interwoven with fine silver streaks, showcasing the tea’s purity and meticulous processing.

Once brewed, Silver Green offers a clear, refreshing cup with light vegetal notes and a gentle sweetness that lingers. Its smooth, clean character reflects Makaibari’s deep-rooted commitment to biodynamic farming and artisanal tea-making.

Today, Silver Green stands among the most sought-after green teas from Darjeeling—celebrated for its heritage, elegance, and healthful properties. A pioneer in its time, it continues to offer tea lovers around the world a taste of tradition blended with wellness in every sip.
