Black Teas from Nepal


Nepal has a close proximity to Darjeeling and, with their mountainous Himalayan elevations, they yield teas with characteristics similar to their neighbors. Recently more attention has been given to this tea growing region and Simpson & Vail is proud to be offering more teas and gardens from this area. Nepal teas are generally light and flavorful and exhibit a rich aroma.


Nepal Organic Gold Pathivara Black Tea T1015
Nepal Organic Gold Pathivara Black Tea
Pathivara Gold tea consists of large black and golden well formed leaves that brew to an amber cup with a delicate yet full flavored taste. The astringency that is found in many high-grown Himalayan teas is present in the cup although it is slight. The taste is smooth with a slightly sweet rose taste. A truly delightful cup of tea that we are thrilled to offer.

Nepal, Mist Valley T0885
Nepal, Mist Valley
In Nepal, there are only a handful of tea producers that own and operate their own tea gardens and processing facilities, and Mist Valley Tea is one of those few. Located at an altitude of 1300 meters (approximately 4,200 feet) above the sea-level, this garden produces delightful and distinctive teas. This beautiful uniformly styled, long-leafed, tippy, black tea brews to a light amber cup with a slight vegetal aroma. The taste tends more towards a traditional Darjeeling with nutmeg overtones.
