About This Tea

★★★★★ Verified Buyer

"Nepalese Oolong Tea is a sensory delight. Its elegantly twisted leaves unfurl to reveal a mesmerizing blend of orchid and wildflower fragrances. Each sip offers a harmonious balance of floral notes, hints of honey, and a subtle muscatel finish. Velvety smooth with health-enhancing antioxidants, it's a taste of Nepal's finest craftsmanship in every cup."

💰 Less than $0.45 per cup — the best per-cup value in our oolong line. Re-steep 2–3 times to draw out every layer of nectarine, walnut, and wildflower.

👉 Limited-release micro-lot. Namche is hand-rolled in small artisan batches from Ilam's late spring flush. Once the lot's gone, the next one waits until next spring. The 3.2 oz bag yields ~45 cups.

Handpicked from Ilam's late spring flush and artisan-rolled in micro-batches, Namche is a smooth, lightly oxidized Nepal oolong with an orange-gold cup and layered notes of nectarine, toasted walnut, and wildflower. Each batch is small enough to taste the season — late spring's cool nights and warming days produce a sweeter, more floral leaf than autumn harvests.

A great choice for drinkers who lean toward lighter, floral oolongs and prefer micro-lot character over standard production. Where Dragon Claw brings hazelnut-warm depth and Ruby brings stone-fruit-honey richness, Namche is brighter and more spring-floral, with a clean wildflower finish.
