Annapurna Amber Oolong is named after the striking Himalayan massif, Annapurna, which translates to “Goddess of the Harvests” from Sanskrit. This Darjeeling-style rolled oolong exemplifies the beauty of Nepal within its amber liquor. Notes of caramel, malt, and marmalade are carried by notes of walnut and toasted wheat. The tea will develop more complexity and sweetness over many steeps.

Green Pearls is a stunning example of an autumnal tea from the Jasbirey village in Sandakphu, Nepal. It is picked right before the plants go dormant for the winter, capturing the unique characteristics of its later picking. Its vibrant, amber liquor has notes of wheat, dried orchid, and taro that are accented by aromatic notes of dried leaves and stewed fruit. It is the perfect tea for a peaceful afternoon.

This distinctive green oolong is plucked just before Nepal’s tea plants go dormant in mid-November. After plucking, the leaves are withered and rolled in mechanical rollers. The leaves are then placed in a shaping machine and further dried, producing distinctive pearls. This exquisite, complex oolong produces aromas of wild orchids. The flavor is soothingly fruity, characteristic of the finest autumnal teas from the Jasbirey foothills of Sandakphu.

Inspired by the serene beauty of the Namche region, our Namche Oolong Tea embodies the essence of the mountains.

During late spring and early summer, under the gentle rays of the sun, skilled hands pluck silvery buds and tender leaves. These delicate treasures embark on a meticulously choreographed journey, starting with a tender withering process, as the hours pass and nature's breath weaves its magic.

Hand-rolled with the utmost care, the leaves rest and harmonize with the elements, unveiling their unique character as they change color. A touch of artistry elevates the tea through a gentle tight roll, akin to the sublime Annapurna Oolong Tea. However, the true essence lies in the final shaping process, where the leaves gracefully acquire their captivating texture, a testament to the dedication of tea artisans.

Finally, the leaves are dried and lovingly sorted, ensuring only the finest reach your cup. The orange-hued liquor has notes of nectarine, walnuts, and wildflowers, with subtle tannins that develop into a sweet finish. This oolong tea offers a sublime taste journey, inspired by the serene beauty of the Himalayas.

Ruby is a summer-picked oolong with a long oxidation process, giving it a strong and long-lasting flavor profile. Its distinct, deep red liquor has assertive notes of toasted pecan, brown sugar, and nectarine. As the tea is steeped, notes of honey and oak gradually develop. It is a wonderful tea to enjoy all day long.

Ruby depicts “Fire”- the character is strength, vitality, and a lasting, yet smooth finish. This Ruby is hand-rolled, followed by brief and gentle mechanical rolling to give it a fine twist.  It is oxidized over 24 hours at 6500 feet elevation. The constant flow of cold mist supplied by nature at this altitude makes the oxidation process extremely slow, which allows a gradual change of polyphenols to flavonoids (theaflavins and thearubigins) to such an extent that they wind up almost equal in ratio. Once the quintessential hue and nose (flavor) is attained during this natural oxidation process, this tea is dried slowly and matured over time to perfection.
