White Prakash: A Unique Twist on Organic White Tea
This is not your typical delicate organic white tea. While traditional white teas are known for their minimal processing, our White Prakash takes a distinctive approach that sets it apart. Unlike the usual method of hand-plucking just one leaf and a bud during the First and Second Flushes of Spring and Summer, this tea undergoes a special, carefully controlled process that adds depth and complexity to its flavor profile.
 
Some even refer to it as Silvery Oolong, and once you experience it, you’ll understand why. The leaves are naturally withered for several hours, depending on the weather, allowing them to soften and release their natural oils. These essential oils are then gently coaxed out during a short rolling process, lasting only 8-10 minutes under low to medium pressure. This quick yet impactful step fills the air with a refreshing, floral aroma—a fragrance that is captured and preserved through a delicate drying process, ensuring the essence of freshness remains locked in each leaf.

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.
