About Our Nepalese Tea

Grown in the Himalayan foothills, Nepalese tea is extraordinary. However, years of industry underdevelopment, coupled with a decade-long civil war, served to stunt Nepal's economy. Development of tea farming in the country suffered as a result. Since the signing of a peace accord in 2006, Nepal's tea growers have sought to share their product with more and more drinkers around the world.

Our Nepalese tea comes from small farms near Mount Everest to others in Ilam and Panchthar, a region just 45 miles west of Darjeeling, at an altitude of between 5,000 and 6,000 feet.

Marmalade, Malt, Caramel!

Wow what a surprise this tea was for me. I knew it would be good (no junk with Rakkasan), but this is an exceptional tea. It got sweeter in the second steep. Absolutely delicious. The amber color is beautiful. This is a tea I will be returning to.
