Where exactly does this tea come from?
From Nepal, grown between 900 and 2200 meters above sea level in the Himalayas.
Why call it "Golden Buds"?
Because this exceptional harvest contains an abundant proportion of downy and golden young shoots, which concentrate all the aromatic sweetness of the tea without its bitterness.
What is the difference with Darjeeling?
Darjeeling focuses on floral finesse, Nepal on a more gourmand profile — honey, spices, and a musky touch.
Can it be drunk as iced tea?
Yes, steep normally, let cool and then add ice cubes for a refreshing summer version.
"The liquid gold of the Himalayas — honey, musk, and spices, hand-picked between 900 and 2200 meters above sea level."
