This exquisite 'imperial' black tea is a special selection from the renowned Jun Chiyabari Estate in eastern Nepal. 
The dry leaf has the long, wiry appearance of a Chinese Wuyi Rock oolong, with a rich aroma of dark chocolate and caramel. The steeped liquor is dark honey colour with a sweet fruity fragrance. A delicate creaminess coats the palate with rich notes of plum and caramel with a hint of spice with a sweet linger that remains long after each sip. This is a refined and smooth black is a special treat for any black tea lover! 
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!
