Harvest: April 5, 2021

Jun Chiyabari is located in Hile, a region nestled in the Himalayas in eastern Nepal, due south of Mt. Everest with stunning views of Kangchenjunga. Himalayan White is one of the first harvests of the year from the Ramché & Bokré Divisions. This style of tea follows a processing method very similar to White Peony (Bai Mu Dan), a popular style of white tea made of young tea leaves and silvery unopened leaf buds, also known as two leaves and a bud. The tea is skillfully withered for a long period of time both indoors and outdoors, at room temperature and with cooler air, then lightly dried in an oven. When stored properly, this tea will age beautifully, and features fresh floral bouquet of iris and orchids, hint of ripe peach with a brisk and elegant tannin structure. This tea has the perfect example of the right strike of baking and fixed rosy that keeps the floral and sweetness.
