Khumbu Valley Gold is an exceptional Nepali black tea sourced from the legendary Khumbu Valley region of Nepal, home to Mount Everest and some of the world's most dramatic Himalayan landscapes. Cultivated at elevations exceeding 2,000 meters in pristine mountain tea gardens, this premium black tea is grown in conditions where thin air, intense sunlight, and cool temperatures slow leaf growth and concentrate flavor—resulting in a tea of extraordinary depth and character.
Hand-picked during the peak spring harvest, Khumbu Valley Gold features abundant golden tips that signal the highest quality tea leaves. These tender buds are carefully processed using traditional methods that honor generations of Nepali tea craftsmanship. Each cup is a tribute to the resilience of the tea farmers who cultivate these gardens in one of the world's most challenging environments, and to the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayas. This is tea as adventure—bold, inspiring, and unforgettable.

My order was running late, so Renee was so kind to work with me. She not only got the order out, but sent me a complimentary tea as a gift. We tried our first tea and it is fabulous, with this unusual but wonderful smoky flavor. So far, we’re extremely thrilled with the tea we purchased. Thanks to Renee for the excellent service.
Order 1032. I have never received my order. I have been waiting since May 24th. I want to know where my order is. I'm very angry.

I had an amazing time at the Art of The Blend event. No only did a learn alot, customer service was great, and the tea was simply divine. I created 3 of my own blend and bought extra tea to bring home. The owner Ms. Renee was relatable and knowledgeable.

The 'Imagination Tea' is an aromatic blend that truly lives up to its name. The green tea base is smooth, and the tangerine flavor adds a bright, uplifting citrus note that instantly refreshes the senses. The lemon verbena and lemongrass give it a soothing, spa-like finish, making each sip feel calming and luxurious. As an avid tea drinker, I highly recommend!
