Nepal – Monsoon Black Tea

From Bhakanje, Solukhumbu, the home of Mount Everest, in eastern Nepal comes this exquisite and rare black tea. 

Bhakanje Tea Estate, was established in 2018 in Likhupike rural municipality of Solukhumbu region. The newest tea factory in Solukhumbu is slowly but surely growing. With every farmer contributing to a single batch of super rare and reserved amounts of tea leaves, Bhakanje Tea Estate produced four batches of black tea in 2022 with plans to continue growing and sharing the flavors of the Nepali mountains with the world.

Grown at 1800 meters, this Top of the World Tea is produced at the garden of farmer Ang Dawa Sherpa. 

The tea brews to a deep amber color with notes of spice and eucalyptus and a slightly sweet finish.

Brew tea at 195-205º – steep for 3 minutes.
