Khumbu Valley Gold Black Loose Leaf Tea

About This Tea

Khumbu Valley Gold is an exceptional 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.
