Grown at an altitude of 1,600–1,800 metres among the peaks of the eastern Himalayas, this refined organic oolong tea comes from the famous Jun Chiyabari garden, one of the most prestigious estates in modern Nepalese tea production. Founded in 2001 by brothers Lochan and Bachan Rakshit, the estate stretches across the Dhankuta mountains, where the tea plants grow slowly amid mist, significant temperature fluctuations and mineral-rich soils.

Processed according to the ancient tradition of semi-oxidised oolongs, this tea develops an extraordinarily elegant and persistent aromatic bouquet. The hand-harvested, carefully rolled leaves produce a bright, golden infusion with delicate floral notes, hints of honey and fruity accents, leaving a smooth aftertaste.

Each harvest is unique, the result of a production process that is almost artisanal and which highlights the climate and terroir of the Nepalese Himalayas. The result is a refined, complex oolong tea that is appreciated by connoisseurs for its balance of freshness, natural sweetness and aromatic depth.

What makes Himalayan Oolong special?

Oolong tea is partially oxidised, falling between green tea (unoxidised) and black tea (fully oxidised). Depending on the degree of oxidation, its flavour can range from floral and vegetal to fruity and toasted. Himalayan Bouquet has a medium level of oxidation, giving it its signature elegant character and golden colour.

Himalayan oolongs are rare on the market and possess a distinct, unmistakable character.
