Black Tea (Camellia Sinensis)

Nepal's First Flush is a fleeting treasure, harvested in the first days of March and available within a mere 20 days, making it the freshest black tea experience imaginable. This early harvest window is a testament to the unique Himalayan climate. After a long winter slumber, tea plants awaken to cool air and intense sunlight, fostering a slow, deliberate growth that infuses the young leaves with exceptional richness. Nurtured by pristine Himalayan snowmelt, these delicate buds burst with life, their vibrant green color hinting at the potent antioxidants within. Every sip of this First Flush black tea is a celebration of spring's first breath, offering a smooth taste and a captivating floral fragrance that captures the essence of the season.
