A Light and Refined Green Tea Experience
This tea is perfect for those seeking a delicate, low-caffeine green tea with subtle complexity. Fans of premium Japanese Gyokuro, matcha, and Chinese Longjing (Dragonwell) will appreciate its refined qualities and smooth, vegetal notes. What truly sets it apart, however, is its unique buttery sweetness, which has the power to convert even the most hesitant into devoted green tea enthusiasts.
Our tea garden is nestled in the pristine foothills of Mt. Kanchenjunga, the third-highest mountain in the world, in eastern Nepal. Positioned near the western borders of Darjeeling, India, and just north of Illam—Nepal’s most famous tea-growing region—our small village enjoys the best of both worlds. Situated at an altitude of 1300–1800 meters (4,200–6,000 feet), the area benefits from the exceptional Himalayan climate, perfect for cultivating highly aromatic and unique teas.
Kanchanjangha Tea Estate holds the distinction of being the first certified organic tea garden in Nepal. Established in 1984 by Mr. Deepak Prakash Baskota, the estate was born out of a mission to alleviate poverty in his community. Today, it remains a pioneering social enterprise, built on cooperative infrastructure and dedicated to putting people and the planet before profit.
