From the Jun Chiyabari Tea Garden, single estate located in the Himalayan hills of mid-eastern Nepal.
Gardens are located at 6,000 to 6,500 feet in the ‘hills’ around Hile, a typical Himalaya hill-town, about 15 km west of Ilam (the major tea-producing region of eastern Nepal) not far from Sikkim and Darjeeling to the east, and Sagarmatha (Mt Everest) to the north.

2013 late Summer pluck.

I could tell I was going to like this green tea because the dry leaf smells like White Peony white tea. The leaves are gorgeous, twisted and plump at the same time. Their color is beautiful moss green with snow cream green leaves mixed in.
I brewed this Western style and I think I under leafed it a bit and it was still fantastic.
The wet leaves smell zingy and like grape leaves or the dolmas wrapping/ grape leaves.
The liquor is a light pearl green color. Gorgeous.
The flavor is cream and has a creamy thickness to the liquor. I taste the grape leaves with tiny tiny elements of butter bean. There is a slight cleansing to the palette so this is a great after meal tea.
I re-steeped the leaves in my gaiwan to concentrate the flavors and found that these delicate leaves do not want to be re-steeped because I brought about some bitterness :(
One steeping and delicious!!!

Western style today and I put in the recommended TBSP leaves. This tea has a tiny balance of bitter but not too bad. Otherwise, it has good flavors of cream, greens, and maybe a touch of almond.
