This particular offering of ours from Nepal is packed with flavor and medicinal properties. It hails from East Nepalaya, a region that enjoys the same topography as Darjeeling. Needless to say, the teas are just as exquisite. This is a great cup of green tea with fresh vegetal notes and a long, smooth finish. The astringency is medium and the mild, ripe fruity tones are hard to miss. And the crowning aspect, this tea is 100% organic. This is our gift to every green tea lover.

A really interesting tea. It’s most unique note is a grilled/toasted/smoky flavor, much more mild than lapsong souchong or genmaicha, but still definitely present. Under that is a green vegetable flavor, most reminiscent of sweet corn or fresh peas. It’s a very mild, light tea overall, but quite pleasant.
However, a warning: it is EXTREMELY easy to oversteep this tea, in which case it becomes almost undrinkably bitter. Be very careful with the temperature of your water (not yet boiling!) and the time of steeping (3 minutes AT THE MOST, preferably 2). The tea will still be very pale and look unfinished, but trust me, don’t risk it.
Flavors: Grilled Food, Peas, Spinach
Definitely smoky and woody with a tobacco aftertaste, however, I feel like it lacks body and is a bit thin in taste. The leaves are kind of unimpressive, short choppy bits that seem to be one step above a tea bag, although the brewed color is an attractive darker gold green. The aroma is definitely charcoal-ish, but more green, like roasted spinach.
It’s not really an unpleasant taste by any means at all, though, and definitely unique in its smokiness, but unfortunately does not follow up on its promise of a rich flavor to back up the smokey overtones. Indeed, I’d say its predominant taste after smokey is bitter, which can easily turn extremely bitter if oversteeped or scalded.
Overall, a shame that the taste isn’t more full bodied or well rounded as I really liked the idea of a smoky tea.
Flavors: Smoke, Spinach, Tobacco, Wood
