Processing & Quality
Harvested during the second flush, the leaves undergo withering to reduce moisture, followed by careful rolling to release flavor compounds. Oxidation brings out the characteristic color and briskness, while a final drying stage ensures stability and shelf life. The result is a well-balanced black tea with a strong yet smooth profile — perfect for everyday tea drinkers.
FARMERS TEA INDUSTRY
Lovingly plucked by the women of Jasbire village, this tea is more than a beverage — it's a shared ritual. The familiarity and comfort it brings mirror the farmers' close relationship with the land and their daily routines. This tea is a true reflection of community life in Nepal's eastern hills.
