Himalaya Summer Snow White Tea, smallholder, from Ilam, Nepal. This white tea was picked in the summer of 2023. A ripe full-bodied tea, velvety soft on the one hand, but rich and lively with muscatel, floral and fruity notes on the other. Keep the tea leaves under a layer of cold water between pours so that the tea does not oxidize further.
This tea is produced by the young tea maker Vivek; He and his parents own a small tea garden of 0.11 hectares and sell part of the unprocessed harvest as raw material to a larger tea processing factory. He also saves part of his harvest to process it himself with skill, just like his mother, who used to do this on a smaller scale.
