Indian Black Cloud Tea

I tasted this at an afternoon tea and was impressed by the flavour and clarity. It was great to be able to source it and I was impressed by the service and quality of the product from the Rare Tea company

Bliss

I made a cup of Cloud Tea by following Henrietta's instructions and using my very best tea cup. The taste, feel and scent of the tea is something very, very special. Your description is better than mine could ever be except to say that I closed my eyes and imagined that I was back on the banks of the Brahmaputra river. The taste of Cloud Tea from Lakersiew is bliss.

Indian Black Cloud Tea

A very enjoyable experience. Definitely one for those who appreciate the more complex flavours……Greatly improves with second and third infusion.

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.
