The Himalaya is one of the prime tea-growing regions on earth. High altitude combined with plentiful rainfall (and snow melt) provide conditions that encourage tea bushes to thrive. Nepal, Sikkim and Dooars all benefit from this native terroir and produce small crops of exquisite tea.

We are proud to offer a selection of these fine teas when they are available. They have a clarity that is remarkable, and none of the finicky brewing demands of their cousins the Darjeelings. Growing at such a high altitude, these teas are incapable of developing sharp astringency; they tend to lush, clear flavors and soft body.
