A Rare Expression of High Elevation Nepal Tea
Some teas demand your attention. This one earns your reverence.
19° Himalayas Best White Tea is crafted from one bud and one tender leaf. Hand-plucked from the high ridges of Ilam, Nepal. This precise plucking standard preserves purity while adding gentle structure beyond bud-only teas.
White tea is the least processed of all traditional teas. 19° is simply withered and carefully dried. No rolling. No heavy oxidation. Minimal human intervention.
The result? A delicate Himalayan tea that expresses terroir with absolute clarity.
The liquor pours pale gold with soft luminosity. The texture feels silky and ethereal. The finish is clean, lightly sweet, and quietly persistent.
This is premium white tea from the Himalayas at its most restrained and elegant.

A Connoisseur's Take
The mix of silver-green and rusty-brown downy buds and tea leaves, smells like sweet watermelon and chocolate. The liquor which looks close to Riesling white wine produces a thick, buttery and smooth texture. Taste notes similar to vanilla and nut milk finishes soft and juicy in your mouth ending up in a settled calming satisfaction.
