NEW! This black tea comes from the Kanchanjangha Tea Estate in Nepal's eastern region in the foothills of Mt. Kanchanjangha, the third-highest mountain in the world. Grown at altitudes of 4,200 to 6,000 feet, tea plants thrive in the pristine climate of the Himalayas, resulting in a black tea with a distinctive profile reminiscent of Second Flush teas grown in neighboring Darjeeling.
Kanchanjangha Tea Estate is Nepal’s first certified organic tea garden. Mr. Deepak Prakash Baskota founded it in 1984 with the intention of eliminating poverty in his neighborhood. It continues to be a model social enterprise that operates on cooperative infrastructure and prioritizes people and the environment over profit.
Tasting notes: sweet nose, hints of caramel, dark chocolate, woody, full-bodied, and long finish.
