OOLONG TEA: Himalayan Spring, Nepal - organic

Himalayan Spring
Organic oolong tea, Nepal

Flavour: floral, nutty, sweet 
Harvested in late April 2025 these leaves were grown at an altitude of just over 1500m. They are withered, rolled and dried, with light oxidation taking place during these processing steps. 

When infused, Himalayan Spring has high floral notes followed by a hint of sweet cream, then a lingering walnut aftertaste. Mild astringency adds freshness to the tea.  

Jun Chiyabari, meaning ‘Moonlit tea garden’, is a family run, high mountain tea estate led by brothers Bachan and Lochan Gyawali. The tea plants are set in small plots scattered between forests, bamboo groves, boulders and streams, at an altitude of 1650m to 2100m in Dhankuta, east Nepal. The terroir, the brothers’ commitment to organic production and careful processing creates rare, high quality, light and aromatic full-leaf teas. Organic certification by IMO.

Preparation: Steep for 3 minutes at 90°. Three infusions. 

Infusions: specialty tea leaves can all be steeped at least twice, and often more, so each 3 gram serve (150 mls - a standard teacup size), will give you two cups ('infusions') if you steep the leaves twice. On the back of your pouch under 'Steep', you can find the number of infusions for your tea.

If you infuse your leaves at least twice, your pouch will give you the following cups of tea (or more if you infuse your leaves more times):

50 grams - 33 cups
100 grams - 66 cups
200 grams - 133 cups
