A very aromatic, medium leaf tea with a round and spicy bouquet. Lively and complex. High-grown in the foothills of the Himalayas, close to Darjeeling. Although not as well-known as Darjeeling, Nepalese teas are equal in quality and freshness and are beginning to make inroads to the Western market. The bushes here were planted later than those in Darjeeling resulting in a younger character and leaf. The growing height, the soil, the temperature, the air and rainfall all add to the flavour and quality of this tea.

Refreshing and calming
This one isn't coming out strong enough for us.
This is a gorgeous tea. Made with boiling water, I steeped it for 3 minutes, and managed two infusions from the same leaves. The dry leaves all appear non-uniform in shape; the liquor has a deep russet colour and its body is rich and robust. Generous flavours of muscatel cascade from every sip, with an accompanying overtone of nutmeg. Fruity and spicy flavours abound; this is a memorable, robust tea. I added milk because the body called for an anchor; it handled it well. This tea would be good as an everyday afternoon tea -- perfect for the three-o'clock slump that always requires a jolt of energy to bring one back to life.
