Dark Oolong Tea

Dark Oolong || Strong, Fruity, and Gracefully Balanced

 A tea that sits between Black Tea and Green Tea— strong, fruity, and bright. This 50% oxidation oolong from the high slopes of Sandakphu Tea Estate captures the mountain’s pure air and quiet rhythm. It’s a smooth, golden cup with hints of spring flowers, gentle fruit, and mountain mist.

What Makes Dark Oolong Tea Great:

• High-Mountain Origin – Grown at 6,500–8,000 FT in Jasbirey Village, Ilam, near the foothills of Sandakphu Peak.
• Highly Oxidized (40-60%) – A dark-style oolong that bridges the strength of black tea and the depth of oolong.
• Floral & Fresh – Bright notes of orchid and gardenia balanced with subtle fruit sweetness and stronger taste
• Biodiversity-Rich Terroir – Cultivated near the Mai Pokhari Ramsar Site, where pristine ecology enhances the leaf’s natural vitality.
• Artisan Craftsmanship – Handpicked and lightly rolled to preserve aroma, clarity, and freshness in every small batch.

Story about Dark Oolong Tea:

Sandakphu Tea Estate lies in Jasbirey Village, Ilam — a region kissed by clouds and cradled by the Himalayas. Here, tea grows among forests rich in orchids, ferns, and wild herbs. The altitude and biodiversity infuse the leaves with a natural liveliness that shines through in every golden sip.

Craftsmanship:

 Leaves are gently withered and oxidized for 40-60%, bringing in the fruity taste while developing soft floral depth. Each batch is hand-rolled and sun-dried in small quantities to maintain the estate’s hallmark freshness and clarity.

When to Enjoy:

Ideal for quiet mornings or mindful breaks — when you want the strength of black tea  with a hint of oolong’s round warmth.
