Description
Himalayan Spring Orange is a lightsome spring-harvest black tea.
This is a refreshing tea with intense green notes due to the early harvest and the relatively light oxidation level.
The mildly sweet, IPA-like flavors are combined with hay, citrus-like scent. Kind, joyful tea that is perfect to start a day with.
Every Nepali tea we have originates from the organic Jun Chiyabari tea garden, located in the Himalayas around 1800 meters above sea level. Due to this clear-out area, in every tea, there lies a deep elation.
