Craft & Origin: Ilam, Nepal

Why Ilam Oolong Tastes Different

This Nepali oolong tea comes from the high-elevation slopes of Ilam, Nepal—an origin known for clean mountain air and slow-growing tea plants. The leaves are handpicked and crafted in small batches, then rolled into the signature “dragon claw” style to protect aroma and deepen flavor through multiple infusions. The result is a golden, fragrant cup that sits right between green tea brightness and black tea depth.

If you’ve been searching for nepal tea or nepali tea that tastes premium and distinct, Dragon Claw is one of the most expressive Ilam styles we offer.

How to Brew Dragon Claw Oolong

Easy Western Method

  • Leaf: 2–3 g per 8 oz
  • Water: 190–200°F
  • Time: 3–4 minutes
  • Resteeps: 2–3 times

Brew a little cooler for brighter fruit notes; brew a touch hotter for deeper toasted hazelnut warmth.

Gongfu Method (Best for Layers)

  • Leaf: 5–6 g per 100–120 ml
  • Water: ~200°F
  • Quick rinse: optional, 2–3 seconds
  • Steeps: start 10–15 seconds, then add 5–10 seconds each infusion

This is the best way to experience the “golden oolong” evolution from nutty to fruity across infusions.
