About Nepali Tea

Nepal’s tea gardens sit in the foothills and mid-hills of the Himalayas, often at elevations that rival neighboring Darjeeling across the border. The high altitude, cool nights and mineral-rich soil slow the tea plant’s growth, which many tea drinkers believe concentrates flavor and aroma in each leaf. Small farms and estates across eastern Nepal hand-pick and process much of this tea using techniques refined over generations.
