Thanks to the generosity of the Jun Chiyabari Tea Garden we've managed to secure this year’s harvest of their extremely rare Himalayan Cherry Blossom.

The diaphanous flowers, though delicate, release mountains of flavour.

This pick comes from the "Rumjache" tree; as always, this is a very limited pick and won't be around for long!

Naturally caffeine free.

A rich marzipan scent adds to the succulent cherry and vanilla taste, with a light, honeyed sweetness. A delicious infusion to truly savour.

50p per cup based on 0.5g of tea per 150ml of water and 3 infusions.

Jun Chiyabari tea garden, Dhankuta district, Nepal

Recommended Infusion Guide

  • Quantity

    Use 0.1 oz of blossom per 5.5 fl oz of water.

  • Temperature

    For the optimum infusion use 212°F water, although you can experiment with lower water temperatures - try water between 158-176°F to extract different tastes.

  • Time

    Infuse for 1 - 3 minutes, tasting regularly.

  • Infusions

    You can infuse these flowers at least three times. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.

How to infuse your tea is very personal, and these are just our recommendations based on experience. Please experiment with these variables to your heart's delight. These are our recommendations, not hard and fast rules. The most delicious tea is the one you love.

Our guide uses a standard tea cup size (150ml/5.5 oz) as a measure, please adjust the quantity of leaf accordingly for less or more water. Our whole loose leaves are of such a high quality that you can infuse our teas at least twice, and the second infusion is often better than the first, with different flavours revealed as the leaf softens. If you prefer your tea stronger, add more leaf, don’t leave it for longer (this will just make it bitter).

The Jun Chiyabari Estate

High in the Nepali Himalayas lies the tiny but extraordinarily beautiful Jun Chiyabari Estate. At 1835 meters above sea level, the altitude effects the growing conditions; the Cherry trees cannot fruit but the climate brings out aromatic and intense flavours in the blossom.

The estate is run by Morris Orchard, a third generation Nepali tea planter, whose 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.
