Golden Nepal – Second Flush FTGFOP “Kanchanjangha”

Until recently Nepalese tea has been rarely seen outwith Nepal, and we feel honoured to have been able to source this particularly exquisite tea Golden Nepal black tea . Though clearly related to Darjeeling in many aspects of its taste, its body and scent are quite unique, picture gentle incense floating gently over a dusk reflecting mountain lake.  There are also hints of dark fruits and chocolate in this flavour complex.

This particular Golden Nepal tea is crafted by the Kanchanjangha tea garden which hugs Mt. Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world, in eastern Nepal. This Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe is a second flush, harvested in the summer. The carefully bonsai’d tea plants grow at an altitude of 1300-1800 meters (4,200 – 6000 feet),  capturing the freshness of the dreamy Himalayan mists. No chemicals are used during its production, why perfect what’s already perfect?
