A tippy black tea from Nepal. Stonefruit with a hint of fresh herb aroma opens into a rounded, smooth body with a bright, engaging finish.
Origin
Origin
Bardu Honeymoon is grown in the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal, where high elevation, cool nights, and abundant rainfall create tea of refined structure and vivid character. Sourced from a small tea garden that favour traditional orthodox methods, this tea reflects the subtle terroir of the region and the careful attention of producers who balance finesse with clarity.
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
The liquor is deep copper with warm highlights, offering aromas of dried apricot, ripe stonefruit, and soft spice. On the palate this tea feels rounded and balanced, carrying a subtle sweetness and a clear, bright finish that keeps the cup lively and expressive. The overall experience is approachable yet refined, with a profile that evolves pleasantly across multiple infusions.
Perfect alongside lightly spiced breakfasts, fruit-based pastries, or mild cheeses. Its balance of brightness and rounded sweetness also makes it a wonderful everyday black tea.
