Clean, warm finish A Wood-Fired First Flush Black Tea from Ilam Hand-picked from the season's first buds in the cool, high-altitude gardens of Ilam, Nepal, and finished over traditional wood heat, Spring Tippy is a golden-tippy first flush black tea that captures Nepal's spring harvest at its freshest. The cup pours a clear amber-gold with bright, layered notes of green grape, demerara sugar, fresh almond, wheat, and a long caramel finish. Smooth and naturally sweet, with no astringency. A natural fit for drinkers who want something cleaner and more nuanced than a standard breakfast blend, but with real body and caffeine. Where Himalayan Golden leads with honeyed malt and Snow Leopard brings cocoa-muscat depth, Spring Tippy's wood-fired first flush delivers a lighter, spring-bright cup that stands on its own.
