This Tea is selectively picked downy buds, and supple young leaves right below it, processed into Black tea.
In the early spring, when the first lot of new buds appear, farmers rush to the field to pluck them quickly (usually within a week) before they unfurl into leaves. These fine, potent buds appear after a period of dormancy the tea plant goes through in the winter. This causes them to be full of flavors and packed with antioxidants, when processed into Black tea .
This particular tea originates in the Ilam district of eastern Nepal at an altitude 7000-7500 feet.
