Tasting Notes: vanilla, creamy butter, muscatel, floral

Description: A smooth organic white tea grown at high elevation in Nepal’s Himalayan foothills. This tea offers a delicate, rounded mouthfeel with notes of vanilla, creamy butter, gentle grassiness, and soft floral spring blossoms. The finish is mellow and comforting, with hints of muscatel and low astringency.

Grown between 4,200 and 6,000 feet, this tea is produced in small organic gardens, where cool mountain air and natural withering methods help preserve its essential oils and layered character. The teas from these gardens are among the purest on earth. This tea is crafted by the Kanchanjangha Tea Estate, Nepal’s first certified organic tea garden. The estate operates as a model social enterprise near Mt. Kanchanjangha, the third-highest mountain in the world, and is known for sustainable farming and community-based impact.

Those who enjoy white teas like White Peony and Silver Needle, as well as the light-bodied green tea White Monkey, will appreciate this tea’s subtle, delicate character. Compared to traditional Chinese white teas, Nepal White is creamier, with a more rounded body than the more delicate Bai Mu Dan or Silver Needle.
