Bold & Velvety Black Tea from the Heart of the Himalayas
From the cool, mist-wrapped slopes of Ilam at ~6,500 ft, Mt. Pumori Organic Black Tea expresses the very soul of Nepali terroir, elegant, malty, and rich. Crafted at high elevation where tea leaves grow slowly under diffused sunlight, this USDA Certified Organic black tea delivers a creamy mouthfeel and refined depth that define Himalayan luxury tea.
Aroma & Appearance
The dark, twisted leaves are streaked with natural golden hues that release inviting notes of malt, warm earth, and toasted nuts. When brewed, the liquor glows amber gold, smooth, aromatic, and beautifully balanced.
Taste Experience
The first sip unfolds a velvety maltiness intertwined with hints of roasted almond and soft fruit. A creamy middle gives way to gentle earthy undertones and a subtle touch of spice. Its medium body and polished finish create a harmonious cup that’s both comforting and sophisticated.
Many Health Benefits
Teas contain antioxidants, polyphenols, catechins, caffeine, and other compounds beneficial to our overall mental and physical health. Many research studies have shown that drinking tea regularly might improve focus, provide relaxation, aid sleep, and provide other health benefits.
