Small-batch, USDA Organic and single-origin, this loose leaf oolong showcases the best of high-elevation organic oolong tea from Nepal. Why You’ll Love It High-mountain origin: grown around 6,500 ft in Ilam, Nepal’s premier tea region. Darjeeling-style craft: rolled oolong with a clear amber liquor and layered complexity. Signature flavor: caramel, malt and marmalade with nutty, toasted wheat undertones. Steady, smooth energy: moderate caffeine for a focused lift without harsh jitters. Perfect if you love rich, aromatic oolong teas and want a premium, high-elevation Nepal oolong that can anchor a daily ritual or impress guests. Brewing Guide Leaf: 1–1.5 tsp (2–3 g) per 8 oz Water: about 190–195°F — just off the boil Time: 2–3 min (shorter for lighter, longer for more intensity) Resteeps: 2–3 infusions; add 15–30 seconds each round For a softer, more delicate cup, start closer to 190°F; for a deeper, dessert-like cup, brew nearer 195°F and slightly increase leaf instead of over-steeping. Annapurna Amber’s caramel and marmalade notes shine when brewed gently and re-steeped.
