Discover the Excellence of Single Origin Loose Leaf Tea from Nepal

Himalayan Golden Tea is an award-winning organic black tea from Sandakphu, Nepal. This premium Nepali black tea features a deep amber liquor with notes of malt, clover honey, and burnt sugar, complemented by apricot and clove. Enjoy it as a breakfast tea with or without milk and sugar.

Benefits of Himalayan Golden Black Tea Black tea is renowned for its bold flavor and energizing properties. Packed with antioxidants like theaflavins and catechins, it supports heart health, boosts immunity, and enhances focus. Nepali black teas, such as Himalayan Golden, capture the unique terroir of Nepal, offering malty, robust notes that are as rich in flavor as they are in tradition.
Why Choose Himalayan Golden Tea? Nepal tea stands apart due to its vibrant character and unparalleled freshness, thanks to the high-altitude farms of the Ilam region. Crafted as single-origin teas by small, sustainable farms, these teas are free from additives and pesticides, embodying the essence of organic tea. Nepali black tea offers a bold yet smooth taste, perfect for tea enthusiasts seeking authenticity and quality in every sip.
How it’s made? Himalayan Gold: A Tea Shaped by Monsoons and Nature’s Whimsy In Nepal, the Himalayan monsoon sweeps in like a long-awaited symphony, bringing life to the hills after a fleeting summer. The vibrant, golden-red soil of Sandakphu, nestled in the heart of Nepal’s Ilam region, is among the first to drink in the rains. This fertile, high-altitude terroir—unique to Nepali tea—undergoes a beautiful transformation as the rains nurture the tea gardens.

During the monsoon, the tea bushes absorb less from their roots as the rain-saturated soil shifts and swells. It’s a time when nature takes the lead, and at Sandakphu, we embrace its rhythm to craft a tea that tells a story of the land. Himalayan Gold Black Tea captures the earthy essence of this region—the aroma of rain-soaked earth, the golden-red hues of the soil, and the lush vitality of Nepal’s single-origin tea heritage. What sets Himalayan Gold apart is the influence of wild bees that find sanctuary in the Sandakphu forest during the monsoon. Their presence infuses this tea with a distinct wild honey note, creating a flavor profile that is both complex and irresistibly smooth. The sweet whispers of honey complement the earthy depth of the monsoon, making every sip a tribute to nature's artistry.

To preserve its unique character, this organic tea undergoes a meticulous process—long oxidation, hours of natural drying, and a gentle finish over a wood fire. The dry leaves, bold and striking, unveil their softer side in the cup. The resulting liquor is a true reflection of the Himalayan monsoon: deep, earthy, and delicately kissed with honeyed sweetness.

Nepali teas are celebrated for their unmatched quality and flavor. Like Darjeeling teas, our organic loose leaf teas from Nepal are grown at high altitudes, benefiting from a unique terroir. The result? Teas that are aromatic, flavorful, and delicately sweet. Many tea enthusiasts believe Nepali teas surpass Darjeeling in quality due to smaller production quantities and meticulous hand-picking methods.

Tea Types and Benefits

What is the difference between black tea, green tea, oolongs, and white tea?

All teas come from the same plant, Camellia Sinensis. The variation lies in processing:

  • White teas are minimally processed, retaining the highest antioxidant levels.
  • Green teas are steamed or pan-fired to preserve their natural flavors.
  • Oolongs are partially oxidized, offering complex flavors.
  • Black teas are fully oxidized, resulting in rich and bold flavors.

Do you offer herbal or decaffeinated teas?

We currently do not offer herbal teas or decaffeinated options. However, our white and green teas are naturally low in caffeine and make excellent choices for all-day enjoyment.

What are “flushes”?

Flushes refer to the different harvest seasons in tea production. Nepalese teas are harvested during four flushes, each producing distinct flavors and aromas.
