Grown in the eastern Himalayan foothills of Ilam, Nepal, this is a rare Nepali green tea made in the classic gunpowder green style — meaning tightly rolled into tiny balls. It offers a delicate balance of sweet pea freshness, toasted pine nut nuttiness, vegetal undertones and a savory umami finish.

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.
