Our Organic Black Tea Fannings originates from our tea estate in the eastern region of Nepal, nestled in the foothills of Mt. Kanchanjangha, the third-highest mountain in the world. Our close-knit community is ideally located between Illam, Nepal's most renowned tea-growing region, to the north, and the western borders of Darjeeling, India, capturing the benefits of both regions. Grown at altitudes of 1300 to 1800 meters (4,200 to 6,000 feet), this tea thrives in the pristine Himalayan climate, resulting in its uniquely distinctive and fragrant flavor profile.

Black Tea (Camellia Sinensis)

Organic Black Tea fannings are the byproducts derived during the processing of whole leaves, resulting in a robust and full-bodied brew. While fannings come from the same leaves as higher-grade teas, they offer a completely different tea experience with their own distinct characteristics.

The production of black tea fannings follows the same traditional steps as any other loose-leaf black tea, including withering, rolling, oxidation, and drying. The key difference is during the sorting stage, where the tea is carefully sifted to separate the leaves by size. Fannings, being smaller fragments, are collected specifically for their ability to deliver a strong and consistent flavor, making them a sought-after choice for tea blends and tea bags.

These fannings go through extra processing with a focus on uniformity to guarantee consistency in size and quality. The outcome is a tasty and dependable black tea that retains the essence of the original leaves, providing a unique and fulfilling cup each and every time.
