GREEN TEA: Himalayan Evergreen Spring 2025, Nepal ~ organic

Himalayan Evergreen Spring
Organic green tea, Nepal

Flavour: fresh with notes of chestnut, flowers & herbs
Himalayan Evergreen is Jun Chiyabari’s premium-grade green tea. This is the 2025 Spring harvest, plucked by hand in late April 2025 from plants growing at an elevation of 2010m. The leaves are withered, pan-fired, rolled and oven-dried, resulting in a refreshing, sweet and savoury green tea with notes of roasted chestnut, flowers, herbs and a hint of minerality in the tail. 

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 create rare, high quality, light and aromatic full-leaf teas. Organic certification by IMO.

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
