A fragrant black tea from the "Abode of Clouds" – high in the cloudy hills between Assam and Darjeeling. Light and floral as a Darjeeling with the rich caramel and malty notes you get from the best Assam.

For years I have been searching for the elusive transcendental quality of imagined 1st flush Darjeeling perfection. This is as close as I can find. Boil your water to 80 degrees and half fill the pot. Add a generous pinch of Cloud tea and just let it sit afloat on the water. Enjoy the aroma for as long as you desire. Now fill the pot. Leave in anticipation and watch as the water turns from honey to amber. Finally enjoy. There is no better start to a day.

Indian Cloud Black Tea

Indian Cloud Black Tea is a lovely, refreshing surprise of a loose leaf tea. I love it! Its flavor is so simple, delicious, and undemanding as a hot beverage. It does not compete with the flavor of any food I might be consuming along with my cup of Cloud Tea. That is what I think I like the best about Indian Cloud Black Tea!

A perfect start to the day.

The Indian cloud black tea is the only one for me first thing in the morning. It has a wonderfully rich, full and clean taste. Long may it continue to be available.

Meghalaya, India

Lakyrsiew Tea Garden

Deep in the forgotten forest region of Meghalaya, India, lies the tiny Lakyrsiew tea garden.

From high in the cloudy hills they produce some of the most rare and unique tea in the world.

ABODE OF CLOUDS

The best of both worlds

In the local dialect Meghalaya is called "the Abode of Clouds" so we call this Cloud Tea. It lies between Assam and Darjeeling and this tea really has the best of both. Light and floral as a Darjeeling with the rich caramel and malty notes you get from the best Assam.

This tiny garden produces tea in very small amounts because their concern is always quality over volume.

Meticulous Crafting

Delicate and graceful

The tea is meticulously crafted to keep the beautiful leaves whole. This tender crafting allows the leaves to retain a delicacy and softness that is very rare in black teas.
