Yellow Tea

An absolute rarity: High quality yellow tea consisting exclusively of crescent moon-shaped tips - The original "Imperial" tea. The delicate taste is enriched by a slightly nutty flavour.

Tea from the leading Nepalese Jun Chiyabari garden, located 1650-2200 meters above sea level. A unique tea, it is an absolute best among all Nepalese teas that we could offer in our store. Its leaves are characterized by a slightly lower oxidization level than most black teas, which makes the infusion brighter, and its taste more delicate and flowery. It also has a distinct sweetness with muscatel tones. The tea wins its enthusiasts from the first tasting, with its one-of-a-kind flavor.

This rare yellow tea has been known since the times of Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is said that its production method had been lost, and then rediscovered in the '70s. Since then it has won numerous tea quality competitions, e.g. China's Tea Cup in 1999.
