Kathmandu—just the name evokes misty mornings, terraced hillsides, and the hum of life winding through ancient streets. This beautiful tea from Nepal carries that same spirit, offering a cup that feels both familiar and adventurous. With large brown leaves, it brews an amber liquor that immediately greets you with notes of stone fruit layered over warm, roasted vegetable aromas. It reminds us a lot of a subdued Second Flush Darjeeling.
