43° Smoky Hills Green Tea

A Rare Green Tea with a Gentle Smoky Finish

Not every green tea is meant to be delicate.

Some are crafted to tell a deeper story.

43° Smoky Hills Green Tea begins in the high-altitude tea gardens of Ilam, Nepal, where cool mountain air, mineral-rich soil, and slow-growing tea plants produce leaves of exceptional quality. After careful hand processing, the leaves are gently rolled and lightly smoked, creating a tea with remarkable depth while preserving the fresh character of premium Himalayan green tea.

The result is elegant.

Smooth.

Naturally smoky.

Unlike heavily smoked teas that overpower the palate, Smoky Hills delivers subtle wood-fired notes layered over a vibrant green tea foundation.

This is Himalayan craftsmanship in every cup.

Grown Where Great Tea Begins

Elevation shapes flavor.

Growing between 7,000 and 7,500 feet, these tea plants mature slowly under cool Himalayan conditions.

That slower growth encourages greater concentration of amino acids while naturally reducing bitterness and harshness.

Every leaf develops remarkable smoothness before the careful smoking process even begins.

The mountains do most of the work.

Our tea makers simply preserve what nature created.

Carefully Crafted. Lightly Smoked.

Every batch follows a meticulous process.

Tender leaves are hand-plucked during peak harvest.

They are carefully withered before oxidation is halted to preserve their fresh green character.

The leaves are gently rolled before being slowly exposed to natural wood smoke.

The smoking is intentionally restrained.

Never overpowering.

Never harsh.

Just enough to create complexity while allowing the vibrant Himalayan green tea to remain the star.

Why Smoky Hills Is Different

Most smoked teas rely on smoke to create flavor.

Smokey Hills begins with exceptional green tea first.

Only then is it gently finished with natural wood smoke.

The result is balance.

Freshness remains.

Sweetness shines through.

The smoke complements the tea rather than dominating it.

It offers complexity without heaviness.

Sophistication without bitterness.

This is smoked green tea refined.

Brewing Guidance

Water Temperature: 170–175°F

Tea Amount: 2.5 grams per 8 oz

Steep Time: 2–3 minutes

Suggested Infusions: 2

Avoid boiling water to preserve the tea's natural sweetness and delicate smoky character.

Limited Seasonal Harvest

High-elevation Himalayan tea is naturally limited.

Every harvest depends on mountain weather, seasonal conditions, and careful hand-plucking.

Production remains intentionally small to maintain quality and consistency.

Each lot reflects the unique character of the growing season.

This isn't mass-produced tea.

It's a carefully crafted expression of Himalayan terroir.

A Green Tea Unlike Any Other

43° Himalayan Smoky Hills Green Tea is for tea drinkers looking beyond the ordinary.

Smooth.

Complex.

Naturally smoky.

Mountain-grown.

Every cup balances fresh green tea character with gentle wood-fired depth, creating an experience that's both comforting and unforgettable.

This is Himalayan green tea with extraordinary character.

A Connoisseur's Take

Beautifully hand-curled deep emerald leaves with delicate bright green highlights reveal exceptional craftsmanship before the first sip. The dry leaf offers gentle aromas of toasted grains, fresh mountain greens, and a whisper of natural wood smoke. Once brewed, the liquor glows with a clear golden-green brilliance, delivering a smooth, velvety body layered with subtle vegetal sweetness, light roasted chestnut notes, and an elegant smoky finish. The cup concludes clean and gently dry, leaving behind a lingering sweetness and a calm, focused sense of clarity that invites another infusion.
