Origin: Hile, Nepal Cultivar: Phoobsering 312, Takdah 78, Takdah 668, and Bannockburn 157 Harvest: August 2019 Elevation: 1800 m
On a rainy summer morning in 2019, the artisans at Jun Chiyabari were harvesting lots of zesty summer teas. Processed with techniques inspired by the tea master producers of East Asia, the vibrant teas of summer are the perfect selection to apply this method of processing. Following the steps of a traditional black tea, the Himalayan Black undergoes withering, a lengthy rolling, followed by oxidation and drying. The careful intensive rolling coaxes out the deep, sumptuous flavor. The resulting notes we taste are cocoa nib and tree sap.
