This organic, Fair Trade Certified green tea hails from the Kanchanjangha Tea Estate in the foothills of Mt. Kanchanjangha (third tallest mountain in the world), in the far eastern region of Nepal. While Nepal is not one of the world's traditional tea-producing countries, it is an up-and-coming region growing high quality tea with a strong commitment to social and environmental sustainability. The tightly-twisted leaves of this tea yield a dark golden infusion. This tea has a delicious full flavor, with a mineral earthiness and an aroma of damp leaves and forest flowers. Not surprising due to Nepal's close proximity to the Darjeeling region of India, this tea offers hints of the nutty, muscatel qualities of a Darjeeling black tea, without the punchy astringency.
