Description

An autumn black tea with a captivating fragrance

This black tea comes from the Kalapani plantation, perched high in the hills of Panchthar, in Nepal. It bears the name "Sungava", which means "orchid" in Nepali, echoing the characteristic floral fragrance its leaves release during processing.

A wonderfully indulgent autumn black tea that pairs cocoa and woody notes with a honeyed sweetness, all carried to a lingering finish by a finely powdery texture.

This tea comes from organic farming and has been certified by an approved independent inspection body.
