  • “Huh. Wow. Steeping this for 2 minutes at 195F gives me delightful honey flavour and no bad stuff. I like it! Plain!! (I better like it. I have an other 50g bag sitting in the cupboard!)” Read full tasting note

  • “1TB for 450mL water. 6 minute steep, 98C water. Rating: 95. Yum. I wasn’t expecting this to live up to the hype, but yeah, it’s really nice. A bit Darjeeling-y, which is not a surprise, given that...” Read full tasting note

From DAVIDsTEA

How it tastes
Smooth, full-bodied black tea flavor with sweet honey notes

Good things are brewing in the Highlands of Nepal. Like this handmade black tea, a DAVIDsTEA exclusive from a family-owned tea garden named Jun Chiyabari. From the first sip you’ll notice the tea’s rich, sweet, honey-like flavor. Even better? This little tea garden has set up a ton of community programs to benefit local schools, underprivileged families and the elderly. Now that’s good.

What makes it great
• Now a give-back tea 1% of proceeds will go to our Nepal Water Project!
• From the first sip you’ll notice its rich, sweet, honey-like flavor.
• This tea comes from a small family estate in Nepal that uses its earnings for community programs to benefit schools, underprivileged families and the elderly.
• This caffeinated black tea is a great way to energize.

Ingredients: Organic black tea from Nepal

A gentle and sweet mountain tea without a trace of bitterness. Features distinct honey notes and a refreshing quality.

I absolutely loved the smell of this tea when I bought it. The smell was of light honey followed by a classic darjeeling black tea scent.

The smell while steeping turned me off a little, but after taking a few sips I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The flavour consists of a light honey taste, thick maltiness and a bold astringent finish.

Overall, a good black tea but not my favourite.

This is pretty good. It’s a little bit sweet – I’m definitely getting honey – and a little bit malty. Very smooth, not particularly robust. Not much astringency and no bitterness. As far as unflavored black teas go, I usually stick to Darjeelings and while this tea is somewhat reminiscent of those I don’t like it quite as much. I prefer the floral undertones I get from Darjeelings to the honey ones here. This tea is nothing special and I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy it again, but I am enjoying it.

Very nice honey notes prominent in the nose of both the dry leaf and the brewed cup. Seems to have no bitter bite; almost wish it had a little bit more. Extremely smooth, yet full bodied and fairly rich. Drank it black, think it would go nicely with milk and sugar.

I like the subtle sweetness this has. I find even when I leave it to steep too long, it doesn’t grow bitter-it reminds me a bit of orange pekoe which I don’t necessarily mind. I initially bought a cup to go, but after enjoying it as much as I did, I slipped back in to buy some to take home with me. Definitely don’t regret it.

Great tea and good flavor. I drink this tea after a heavy meal and it somehow make me feel less “greasy” in the stomach.
