Nepal Golden Tips Black Tea

With great excitement I am pleased to finally bring back the Nepal Golden Tips, one of the first teas offered on What-Cha and a personal favourite. Made entirely of young buds, possessing a lovely smooth sweet malt taste which lingers in the mouth, without any detectable bitterness or astringency. Nawa Arya Tara are a fantastic example of the shift by small Nepalese tea gardens to process their own tea leaves to a high standard with imported Chinese machinery, shifting away from the Darjeeling style Nepalese tea was previously known for.
