Nepali Green Peak
Taste: Steamed greens & sweetgrass
Origin: Ilam District, Eastern Nepali Himalayas
Tea Maker: Tinjure Cooperative
Medium Caffeine
Nepali Green Peak: A light, bright organic green tea made by Nepal’s first tea cooperative. Grown in the shadows of Mt. Everest, its strong vegetal body is balanced by a gentle sweetness, allowing it to blur the lines between traditional green and white teas.
Tasting Notes: As with all green teas of strength, the trick to enjoying a nuanced cup of Nepali Green Peak is to gently coax its soothing vegetal notes of cooked spinach without drawing out too much astringency that will mask its more subtle qualities. When attentively brewed, expect the vegetal flavors to be balanced by a sweetness that comes from its soft, delicate bud. Lovers of Japanese sencha or Chinese green tea (Bi Lun Chun) will likely enjoy this tea.
Trust me it is perfect for an ice green tea!
