This beautiful high grown oolong tea hails from the Jun Chiyabari Estate, celebrated as a top quality tea producer in eastern Nepal. A highly aromatic, hand-rolled oolong that delivers smooth floral taste of orange blossoms accompanied by a sweet lingering finish.
Jun Chiyabari’s tea gardens are located at 6,000 to 6,500 feet in the ‘hills’ around Hile, a typical Himalaya hill-town not far from Sagarmatha (Mt Everest) to the north and Sikkim and Darjeeling to the east. The physical beauty of this estate is matched by the caring spirit of its operation, which is founded in meaningfully providing for the community as well as the estate workers. Jun Chiyabari's core philosophy includes investment education, equalized pay for women and men, and promoting women to supervisory positions (women make up 80% of Jun Chiyabari's workforce). One can feel good about consuming a tea where the same amount of love and care went into it's people, as into the leaf that steeps in your cup!
