About This Tea
Golden-tippy Nepal black tea with fruit, caramel & wheat notes
Premium Spring Tippy is a rare spring-harvest Nepal black tea from the cool, high-elevation gardens of Ilam, Nepal. Plucked from the season’s first buds and young leaves, it brews a vibrant golden cup with tasting notes of green grape, demerara sugar, fresh almond, wheat and a smooth caramel finish. Crafted in small batches and finished over traditional wood heat, it’s a clean, nuanced single-origin Nepali black tea for refined everyday sipping.
Why You’ll Love It
- First flush Nepal black tea: spring-picked in Ilam from the first buds and young leaves.
- Golden-tippy sweetness: notes of green grape, demerara sugar, almond, wheat and caramel.
- High-elevation, single-origin: handpicked loose leaf from small Himalayan farms in Ilam.
- Wood-fired craftsmanship: gently oxidized and finished over traditional wood heat.
- Smooth, low astringency: a clean, easy-drinking black tea with steady, focused energy.
Ideal if you’re searching for a spring-picked Nepal black tea that’s smoother and more nuanced than typical breakfast blends.
Brewing Guide
- Leaf: 1–1.5 tsp (2–3 g) per 8 oz water
- Water: 195–200°F (just off the boil)
- Time: 3–4 min (taste at 3:00 for a lighter, springy cup)
- Resteep: 1–2 infusions; add 30–45 seconds for each additional steep
For a delicate, fruit-forward profile, brew closer to 195°F and 3 minutes. For a deeper, more caramel-rich cup—or if adding milk—brew toward 4 minutes at the higher end of the range.
