How It's Made

Five deliberate steps

01
Plucking
One tender leaf and a bud of the Gumti and AV2 varieties, taken by hand.
02
Withering
12 hours on the trough, cool and warm air as needed, until the leaf turns supple.
03
Rolling
30 minutes, breaking the cells to release flavour and aroma and set the twisted shape.
04
Oxidation
12–15 hours at room temperature, watched closely as the colour and aroma develop.
05
Drying
15 minutes at 115–120°C, arresting oxidation at 3–5% moisture.
The Origin

At the peak of the season, when the tips turn gold, our pickers choose only the very best of the garden.

Golden Harvest is our most generous tea — fully oxidised, deep in colour, honeyed in the cup. Every tip is selected by hand at the height of the season, then carried through a full, careful oxidation to bring out its warmth and depth.

Presented in a hand-finished gift box, it is built to be given as much as brewed — single-origin, from the slopes of eastern Nepal.
