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.
