🍵 Organic Black Tippy Tea (Himalayan Darjeeling-Type)
Our Organic Black Tippy Tea is a premium, whole-leaf tea made from the tender tips of the tea plant 🌱, traditionally regarded as the most refined part of the harvest. Sourced from a government-supported organic initiative in the Himalayan region, this Darjeeling-type tea is delicate, aromatic, and naturally suited for non-milk teas and English breakfast-style brews with a light, elegant liquor.
Crafted primarily from the young buds and first leaves, Black Tippy Tea is naturally rich in polyphenols and aromatic compounds, long associated with refinement and gentle stimulation.
Unlike robust CTC teas (which are excellent for milk-based chai and strong brews), this Darjeeling-style black tea produces a light golden to amber infusion, with subtle floral, fruity, and honeyed notes. Its clean profile makes it ideal for:
Being certified organic and sourced from a Himalayan government-backed initiative ensures that the tea is chemical-free, while supporting sustainable livelihoods, soil health, and traditional plucking practices in fragile mountain ecosystems.
This is a tea meant to be sipped slowly, appreciated for nuance rather than strength.
