Nepal Hills Fresh White Tea – Loose Leaf | Low Caffeine Himalayan | Single Origin Nepal

Fresh White Tea is a minimally processed single-origin white tea from Ilam, Nepal — grown at 5,500 ft above sea level on Farmers Tea Co.’s certified organic farm. Wildflower, morning dew, a whisper of cucumber. The lightest caffeine in the range, and a cup so clean it tastes like the mountain itself. No bitterness.

The Story of Fresh White Tea

White tea is the least processed tea in existence. The young leaves and buds are harvested, withered in the mountain air, and dried — nothing more. No rolling, no oxidation, no heat-fixing. What remains is a tea that carries the raw character of the plant: the wildflower delicacy of the Ilam highlands at 5,500 ft, the mineral clarity of Himalayan soil, and the natural sweetness of leaves that never needed intervention.

Farmers Tea Co., led by Dil Kumar Rai and youth artisans in Malate, Ilam, produces both Nepal Hills Tea white teas. The certified organic growing conditions at 5,500 ft are particularly well-suited to white tea — the slow growth concentrates the delicate aromatic compounds that make this style so prized, while the clean mountain environment ensures no off-flavours reach the cup. With only 5–15mg of caffeine per cup, this is a true any-time tea, including evenings.

Why Fresh White Tea Is Different

• Minimal processing — leaves are harvested and air-dried only, preserving the plant’s natural wildflower and dew character
• Grown at 5,500 ft on a certified organic farm in Ilam — the altitude and clean environment are essential to white tea quality
• Only 5–15mg caffeine per cup — the lowest in the Nepal Hills Tea range, safe for evenings and caffeine-sensitive drinkers
• Single-origin from Farmers Tea Co., Ilam — the only farm in Nepal Hills Tea’s family that produces white tea
• Purchasing this helps support farms like Farmers Tea Co. maintain organic certification through our 5% back to farm program
