Description

Located in the village of Nepaltar, Himalayan Shangri-La works alongside local communities to create wonderful tea. This may be a summer flush, but its leaves are only mildly oxidised and reveal delicate floral notes.

This Nepalese summer flush is characterised by almond and floral notes which bring to mind wild flowers, as well as its highly smooth texture.
