Full Oxidation and Rich Aromatics

Orthodox black tea is fully oxidized under carefully monitored humidity and temperature in mountain tea factories. The process transforms green catechins into rich theaflavins and thearubigins, giving the liquor its shimmering ruby-gold color and robust, soothing character.

From our delicate spring Ilam Gold First Flush to comforting, cardamom-spiced Kathmandu Chai, Nepali black teas offer tremendous depth and versatility.
