OOLONG TEA: Himalayan Beauty, Nepal
Himalayan Beauty
Oolong tea, Nepal
Flavour: floral, fruity, wood
This open-leaf, tippy oolong is a 2023 Spring harvest from the mountainous tea-growing district of Ilam in Nepal. Ilam sits at a similar altitude to the famous tea region, Darjeeling, just across the border in India.
Himalayan Beauty infuses into a beautifully balanced, delicate and fragrant tea with a smooth, creamy texture. Initial floral notes give way to fruity aromas - orange peel, apple skins and muscatel grape – which happily marry with its woody undertone.
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
