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.

 Why It’s Special

  • High Elevation Craftsmanship (~6,500 ft): The thin air and cool climate produce leaves with lower tannins and naturally sweet complexity.
  • Smooth Low-Astringency Profile: Expect clarity without bitterness, the hallmark of Nepal’s finest black teas.
  • Golden Tippy Appearance: A sign of maturity and expert oxidation, creating a luxuriously creamy texture.
  • USDA Certified Organic: Pure mountain soil and traditional methods yield an authentic, clean cup from plant to pour.

Brewing Recommendations

  • Leaf: 1–1½ tsp per 8–10 oz of water
  • Water: 205 °F / 96 °C
  • Steep: 3–4 minutes for a full-bodied cup with a silky finish
  • Re-steep: Up to 3 times, each infusion reveals deeper malty warmth and nutty undertones

The taste profiles of loose-leaf teas can vary widely depending on the steep duration, tea-to-water ratio, and water temperature. We encourage you to try different combinations for brewing tea to find the perfect tea, that speaks to your taste buds.

A Connoisseur’s Take

Sourced from the tea mountains of the Eastern Himalayas of Nepal, this robust organic black tea is bold yet elegant, perfect for mornings that call for calm strength. The leaves, in a tapestry of dark olive to golden-brown tones, exude subtle aromas of rose, malt loaf, and bittersweet cocoa. When steeped, they yield a radiant apricot-orange liquor with hints of light caramel. The first sip glides smoothly across the palate, revealing gentle malt and lychee-like sweetness that deepens with each swirl. It finishes with a soft, lingering minerality and a quiet satisfaction that only a true Himalayan tea can bring.

Danfe Method of Tea Preparation

We believe that your tea experience should be completely personal. Individual taste buds are unique and there is no right or wrong way to brew tea. Therefore we encourage tea lovers to not necessarily bind to traditional methods but let their experience, and discovery guide them. After all, that is where the joy of drinking tea lies. You should try different amounts of tea, steeping time, and water temperature to find the perfect taste you'll fall in love with.

    Iced teas

    Can you make sweet/ unsweet iced teas from loose-leaf teas?

    Of course, you can! High-quality loose-leaf teas make the most refreshing iced teas—smooth, crisp, and oh-so-quenching!

    While some might call it blasphemous to add sweetener/sugar to high-quality loose-leaf teas, here in Texas, where sweet iced tea is a beloved tradition, we have been using our loose-leaf to uplift the iced tea experience.

    We have tried and perfected the art of turning your favorite loose-leaf tea into a delicious iced delight.
    It's time to try it for yourself. Here's how we do it:

    Pro tip: Feel free to experiment with water amounts, temperature, steeping time, tea quantity, and sweetener quantity to find your perfect balance.

    Steep suggestions for iced teas:

    Amount of Water: 2 Liters
    Amount of Loose Tea: 10-12 grams (5-6 teaspoons)
    Steeping Time: 15-20 minutes
    Steeping Temperature: 190-200°F

    Steps to Brew Iced Tea:
    Step 1: Start with a 2-liter batch.
    Boil water, then remove it from heat. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes until it's around 190-200°F.
    Step 2: Add loose-leaf tea.
    Add 10 to 12 grams of your favorite loose-leaf tea OR 5 to 6 teaspoons.
    Step 3: Steep the tea.
    Steep for 15-20 minutes (or longer if you prefer a stronger brew).
    Step 4: Strain and cool.
    Strain the tea, then let it cool down. Add ice.
    (Pro tip: For best flavor, let it chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. Add ice when you drink.)
    Step 5: Sweeten to taste.
    Add your favorite sweetener, but remember that balance is key—don’t let the sweetener overpower the tea’s flavor. (Pro tip: As you sip, let the tea linger in your mouth for a couple of seconds to fully enjoy its rich flavors.)
