A hand crafted Nepali green tea picked in early spring in the foothills of the Himalayas.

This very rare loose leaf green tea comes from a tiny and exquisite tea garden which produces just a few kilos of some of the finest tea in the world.

Tropical fruit notes of mango, cooked pineapple and lychee, yet low in acidity.

52p per cup based on 2g of tea per 150ml of water and 2 infusions.

Jun Chiyabari tea garden, Dhankuta district, Nepal

    For the optimum infusion use 80°C water.

NaN -Infinity

How to infuse your tea is very personal, and these are just our recommendations based on experience. Please experiment with these variables to your heart's delight. These are our recommendations, not hard and fast rules. The most delicious tea is the one you love.

Our guide uses a standard tea cup size (150ml/5.5 oz) as a measure, please adjust the quantity of leaf accordingly for less or more water. Our whole loose leaves are of such a high quality that you can infuse our teas at least twice, and the second infusion is often better than the first, with different flavours revealed as the leaf softens. If you prefer your tea stronger, add more leaf, don’t leave it for longer (this will just make it bitter).

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.

The garden is run by Morris Orchard, a third generation Nepali tea planter, whose great-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.

Hand rolled Spring Green

This hand rolled Nepali green tea from Jun Chiyabari truly exemplifies the idea of terroir. This early Spring pick originates from one specific field, one specific harvest.
