A speciality tea graded SFTGFOP-1(CL): greenish leaf shot through with fine white tips. Left entirely unoxidised, it pours a light orange cup — very floral, with a fresh aroma and only the faintest astringency.
Warm a porcelain or glass pot with hot water, then discard.
Measure 2 grams of leaf for every 180ml of water.
Pour water at about 90°C — just short of a rolling boil.
Steep 3 to 4 minutes, then pour off completely.
High on the southern slopes of the Himalaya, above the cloud line, the garden grows slowly in thin, clean air.
Light & Bright is picked in the first weeks of spring, when the leaf carries the brightness of the new season. Cold nights and altitude force it to grow slowly — concentrating aroma, sharpening flavour, and giving the cup its luminous, floral lift.
Every leaf is plucked by hand on the slopes of eastern Nepal and made in small, careful steps — withered, rolled and dried exactly as described above. Only the mountain, the leaf, and the people who tend both.
Every review is from a customer who bought this tea, posted from their own account after their order. We publish good and bad alike, and never pay for, edit or write reviews.
£68 for 100g of single-origin, hand-plucked Himalayan speciality tea — greenish leaf, fine white tips, a light and floral cup.
