Additional Information

The name 'Himalayan Noir' is an ode to the allure of the centuries old this exceptional tea. The deep, dark infusion that this tea transforms into is reminiscent of the starlit nights that grace the Himalayan landscapes.

Harvested during the Second Flush, Himalayan Noir Loose Black Leaf Tea tells the story of dedicated tea artisans who painstakingly nurture the tea plants, carefully pluck the leaves, and masterfully process them. Produced in limited quantities by the esteemed Norling Speciality Tea, Himalayan Noir is a result of artisanal craftsmanship- each batch carefully crumpled and rolled to create a tea that's nothing short of a masterpiece.

Himalayan Noir Loose Leaf Tea is more than a beverage; it's a journey through time, tradition, and exquisite craftsmanship. It's a chance to experience the allure of the Himalayas in a cup, where the richness of flavor and aroma meets the rugged beauty of the mountains.
