Himalayan Earl Grey (Nepal)

2 oz. (25 cups) or 8 oz. (100 cups) Grown and plucked high in the Himalayan foothills of eastern Nepal, this is our second unique Earl Grey. A timeless classic, it's crafted from a base of Kanchenjunga's Shadow black tea and then blended with Italian bergamot oil and blue cornflower petals. It has notes of citrus, malt, and sweet spice, along with an aroma of orange and wildflowers. Brewing instructions Amount: 2 grams (1 tsp) of loose tea per cup of water Temperature: 212 ̊ (A full, rolling boil) Steep time: 3 minutes About Our Nepalese Tea Grown in the Himalayan foothills, Nepalese tea is extraordinary. However, years of industry underdevelopment, coupled with a decade-long civil war, served to stunt Nepal's economy. Development of tea farming in the country suffered as a result. Since the signing of a peace accord in 2006, Nepal's tea growers have sought to share their product with more and more drinkers around the world. Our Nepalese tea comes from small farms near Mount Everest to others in Ilam and Panchthar, a region just 45 miles west of Darjeeling, at an altitude of between 5,000 and 6,000 feet.
