This is a single origin, organic, black tea from the Himalayas in eastern Nepal, grown just across the border from Darjeeling, India.
Just like Darjeeling teas, the terroir (high mountains, steep terrain, well-drained soil, extreme cold and intense heat, as well as a good level of rainfall) of the Himalayas is a major contributor to the character and floral aroma of this Nepalese tea.
Himalayan Tea also goes through a unique production process to ensure that it maintains its bright, lively, fresh and uplifting flavour that involves a lot of labour and careful monitoring to ensure that a superior product is acheived.
Since 1894, Murchie’s has been importing and blending the finest quality teas from select gardens around the world. As the decades have passed, the art of tea blending and tradition of excellence are handed down along with the old recipes. Today, Murchie’s offers traditional products and classic blends while also developing new combinations for a new generation of tea drinkers. We are proud to provide blends for events and occasions, from local landmarks to national observations and royal milestones.
1.5 tsp for 300mL water, 100C, steeped 4 minutes.
Dry leaf: almost half bright green, the rest amber and brown. Very few twigs. Pretty.
Dry aroma: earthy and mineral with something sharp and fresh, faintly floral.
Wet leaf: the green is less bright. Otherwise unchanged.
Wet aroma: earth, rocks.
Liquor: light copper, very heady with florals and muscatel. A bright, fresh, and crisp black tea, medium-strength, very like an assertive Darjeeling yet still its own tea. I’m sure I can also taste cold fresh air. Delicious. Great value for money.
