Overview
Recommended for: tea lovers craving a sweet, floral first‑flush with apricot finish.
Pairing: berries, chèvre, or light shortbread

A sweet delicate silver needle with light floral and apricot notes. The new version comes from a different tea estate but matches the quality of the previous one. 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.
