Nepal
Jun Chiyabari
High in the Nepali Himalayas lies the tiny but extraordinarily beautiful Jun Chiyabari Tea Garden. At 1835 meters above sea level, the tea grows slowly but with intense flavours.
The garden is run by Morris Orchard, a third generation Nepali tea planter, whose great-grandfather came from Britain to plant tea. This lovely man has a great respect for the land, the tea and the small team he works with - it is an honour to be part of that.
HANDROLLED
Spring Green
A hand-rolled Nepalese green tea from Jun Chiyabari that truly exemplifies the idea of terroir. This early Spring pick originates from one specific field, one specific harvest.
