About This Tea

★★★★★ Verified Buyer

"This tea has a very pleasant sweetness. It has a medium body, not too dark, with great flavor of apricot and I appreciated its earthy smell. I definitely recommend this tea."

💰 Less than $0.50 per cup — re-steep 2–3 times to draw out every layer. Each infusion reveals new notes of stewed apricot, roasted barley, and honey.
👉 Rare autumn harvest. Black Yeti is finished during Nepal's crisp autumn season — cool days and long nights concentrate its honey, barley-roast, and stewed-fruit depth. The 3.6 oz bag yields ~51 cups.

Hand-picked from Ilam's cool autumn highlands and finished by artisan tea makers during the season's crisp days and long cool nights, Black Yeti is one of Nepal's rare autumn-harvest oolongs. The cup pours a deep amber liquor with layered notes of stewed apricot, roasted barley, golden honey, plum, and caramel — a smooth, complex profile that develops across multiple steeps.

A natural fit for drinkers who enjoy roasted, fruit-forward oolongs and want something seasonal and rare. Where Annapurna Amber leads with caramel and marmalade and Ruby brings nectarine-stone-fruit honey, Black Yeti's autumn lot adds barley-roast depth and stewed-plum richness. Explore our Nepal oolong tea selection for the full Ilam lineup — from medium-oxidation darks to lighter golden oolongs and our oak-smoked Tihar.
