A perfectly balanced everyday black tea from the Jun Chiyabari tea garden in Nepal. Himalayan Classic is a "2nd Flush" black tea, meaning it was harvested when the bushes have had more time to adjust to warmer days and brighter sunshine of early summer. The flavors are deep and complex, set against the classic background of fruity-floral Himalayan character that we enjoy so much from this region. Your purchase of this tea provides micro-finance for impoverished women to launch small businesses in Nepal. Learn more about Rishi's Project Nepal. Tasting Notes: Lightly malty and smooth with nectar-like flavors of apricot, lychee, wildflower honey and sweet citrus peel dryness that linger in the finish of this easy-drinking cup.
