BLACK TEA: Himalayan Royale, Nepal

Himalayan Royale Handcrafted Tips
Organic Black tea, Nepal

Flavour: toffee, malt, flowers ~ rich & complex
This is the Autumn flush of Jun Chiyabari’s signature black tea. Hand-harvested on 7 November 2024, these leaves are carefully crafted to draw out the best of the season’s unique flavour characteristics. When infused they release delicious notes of toffee, malt and flowers. 

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.

Watch Anna talk about this tea:

Note: I meant to say a bud ('tip') is the freshest unfurled leaf bud, not the most recent to unfurl ;) ~ Anna

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
