What Makes Himalayan Golden Black Tea So Special?

🌱 Single-Origin from Nepal’s Ilam Highlands

Grown at elevations of 4,500 to 6,000 feet in Nepal’s Ilam region, near Darjeeling, this tea is cultivated in small batches on organic farms using traditional methods. Its single-origin terroir results in a rich, full-bodied brew with notes you won’t find in blended commercial teas.

Unlike mass-market blends, every leaf in this tea comes from a single high-altitude estate—preserving its natural complexity and clean flavor.

🥇 Award-Winning and USDA Certified Organic

Our Himalayan Golden has won acclaim in global tea competitions. It features striking golden tips, hand-rolled leaves, and deep amber liquor that reveals notes of honey, apricot, malt, and toasted nuts. The tea is certified USDA Organic, with no chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

This is more than tea—it’s an experience.
