You must try it

I am enjoying my first ever cup of this tea as I type and it really tastes as described and reviewed. Remarkably floral, light but with a rich mouth feel. I will be buying again.

Exquisit, rare and outstanding quality

This Jun Chiyabari Black Tea exemplifies the meaning of a handcrafted tea. Multiple infusions are possible with no bitterness and no astringency.

Nepal Superior

I take both Nepalese teas;and they never fail to impress. One,of course, is more carefully made. It's if you prefer Macon or Puligny;always take both!

Delicious and hearty

This tea is strong and gentle at the same time. Terrific without anything added and perfect for your morning cup.

It's got it all, but above all, depth.

NEPAL

The Jun Chiyabari Tea Garden

High in the Nepali Himalayas lies the tiny but extraordinarily beautiful Jun Chiyabari Tea Garden. At 1835 meters above sea level, the tea grows slowly but with intense flavours.

This very special terroir produces uniquely rich, chocolate flavours. 

meticulously

Hand Rolled

Production is extremely limited and we buy the entire harvest of this particular pick. These leaves are meticulously hand-rolled to maximise the sweetness and subtlety. The flavour of the hand-rolled leaves are exceptionally delicate and nuanced - allowing for great depth, without developing strong astringency.

Third generation

Morris Orchard

The garden 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.
