BLACK TEA: Himalayan Royale Ruby, Nepal

Himalayan Royale Ruby
Organic Black tea, Nepal

Flavour: floral, sweet, malty

This summer-harvest, full-leaf black tea comes from the high mountains of eastern Nepal. 

Hand-plucked over four days between August and September 2025, the leaves infuse into a sweet, complex cup with delicate floral top notes, followed by soft layers of caramel, malt and sweetened milk.  

Jun Chiyabari, meaning ‘Moonlit tea garden’, is a family-run, high-mountain tea estate led by brothers Bachan and Lochan Gyawali. Its tea plants grow in small plots scattered between forests, bamboo groves, boulders and streams, at of 1450m to 2100m in Dhankuta, east Nepal. 

The distinctive terroir, organic cultivation and careful processing create rare, high-quality teas that are light and refined. Organic certification by IMO.

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
