Himalayan Black - Nepal
From Nepal, high in the Himalayas, comes this rise and shine black tea. The leaves come from an organic tea garden that ranges from 4200 to 6000ft above sea level, expertly processed and ready to make your morning come alive.
We think this premium black tea is a great all-around every day drinker, yielding woodsy (cedar), spice and citrus notes. Smooth, no need to add milk or sweetener (but it sure is good with just a touch of both!). Brew it up with two 5 minutes steeps and be emboldened, with earthy, malty notes, plenty of depth and aroma. Give it a shot gong fu style too!
Fans of Darjeeling and Keemun black teas may very well be fans of this wonderful tea.
