Once limited to China and Taiwan, some of the best high-grown oolong tea now comes from the Himalayan foothills of Nepal. And we have four!

Himalayan Black Dragon

Grown at 5,000 feet, this tea is hand-plucked and heated to stop oxidation at 45%. The leaves are then tightly rolled. The finished product has floral notes and is excellent hot or cold.

Red Yeti Oolong

Grown at 6,500 feet, this hand-rolled oolong has a long oxidation process resulting in a deep red liquor. It has notes of toasted pecan, brown sugar, and nectarine. With successive steeps, honey and oak gradually develop.

Black Yak Oolong

Rolled in the Darjeeling style, this oolong brews a beautiful amber liquor. The tea develops more complexity and sweetness over many steeps and has a mix of notes from malt, caramel and marmalade to walnut and toasted wheat.

Kanchenjunga Oolong

This is a spicy, full-bodied oolong tea with a truly mesmerizing aroma reminiscent of fruity pipe to***co. Grown at over 5,000 feet, it comes from a small family farm in the Himalayan foothills, not far from Kanchenjunga Mountain—the third highest peak in the world.

Around 98% of tea produced in war-torn Myanmar is green. That makes Mandalay Black exceedingly rare. But rare doesn’t mean anything if the tea is no good. Fortunately, our friends in Mogok hand-craft exceptional black tea. And the tea we have now is some of the best they’ve ever made. If you’ve never had it, we can’t wait for you to experience this rarest of teas!

Mandalay Black
Type: Black
Origin: Mogok, Myanmar

A savory black tea crafted with a “spider leg” twist, Mandalay Black has gold tips throughout. The flavor is naturally sweet and fruity and the liquor brews a beautiful copper gold. Can be re-steeped several times.

Hot days, cold brews.

There are two things every cold brewer needs for summer: Loose tea and the perfect strainer/infuser pitcher. We’ve got both! Link in stories.

Cold Brewed Tea and Iced Tea: What’s the Difference?

Cold brewed tea is different from iced tea in that you don’t hot brew the tea first, then chill it. Instead, you simply place the leaves in room temperature water and steep them in the refrigerator over a period of hours. The long steeping time brings out the fullest and most complex flavors for a truly refreshing treat!

Enjoy spring with an Earl Grey from Nepal or Vietnam

Earl Grey is a timeless classic and perfect for a spring morning. We have two distinct Earl Grey teas, both reflective of the regions in which they’re grown and made!

Himalayan Earl Grey
Type: Black
Origin: Ilam, Nepal

This amazing tea is crafted from the finest black tea in Ilam and blended with Italian bergamot oil and blue cornflower petals. It has notes of citrus, malt, and sweet spice, along with an aroma of orange and wildflowers.

Nam Việt Earl Grey
Type: Black
Origin: Yên Bái, Vietnam

Plucked by a H’mong family from 300-year-old wild tea trees, this classic tea is blended over several days and nights with authentic bergamot oil imported from the Reggio di Calabria region of Italy. A citrus experience with notes of orange, lemon and grapefruit.

Made the way they’ve done it for hundreds of years.
Most people have never had Bangladeshi tea. That’s why we’ve been selling Mughal Horseman’s Tea since 2020. It comes from northern Bangladesh, not far from Darjeeling. It’s a strong black tea our customers have loved for years now!
