Nepali Tea FAQs
Brewing, ingredients, and caffeine—quick answers about tea from Nepal.
What are the best-selling Nepali teas to try first?
If you’re new to Nepal tea, start with Himalayan Golden (smooth black tea), Annapurna Amber Oolong (fragrant and layered), and Pokhara Classic Green (clean and refreshing). These are consistent customer favorites and cover the most-loved styles.
What makes Ilam tea different from other teas?
Ilam is Nepal’s premier tea-growing region near Darjeeling. High-elevation gardens and small-batch production help create aroma, clarity, and natural sweetness—often with a smoother finish than mass-market teas.
Do these best-selling teas contain caffeine?
Yes—black, oolong, green, and white teas naturally contain caffeine. Black tea is typically strongest, while green and white teas are often gentler. You can reduce caffeine by steeping a bit shorter and using slightly cooler water.
Are all of these teas USDA Organic?
Some are USDA Organic and clearly labeled as such on their product pages. This collection includes both organic and non-organic single-origin teas—each selected for flavor, freshness, and quality.
How do I brew loose leaf tea so it tastes smooth and not bitter?
Use the right temperature and timing. Black/oolong: start at 195°F and taste at 3 minutes. Green: 175–185°F for 2–3 minutes. White: 175–190°F for 3–5 minutes. Over-steeping (or boiling water on green tea) is the #1 reason tea tastes bitter.
Can I re-steep these leaves?
Yes. Whole-leaf oolongs often re-steep 2–4 times, and many black and white teas re-steep 1–2 times. Re-steeping is one of the best ways to get more value and more flavor range from high-quality tea.
Which best-selling teas work well as iced tea?
Pokhara Classic Green Tea is especially refreshing iced. Many customers also enjoy oolong lightly chilled for a smooth aromatic finish. For a bolder iced cup, brew black tea a little stronger, then pour over ice.
How should I store loose leaf tea to keep it fresh?
Store tea sealed, dry, and away from light, heat, and strong odors. A pantry cabinet is ideal. Avoid storing tea near spices or coffee so it doesn’t absorb aromas.
