Buddha's Potion

Kanchanjangha Tea Estate and Research Center Pvt. Ltd. (KTERC) is the first certified organic tea garden in Nepal that was established in 1984. Mr. Deepak Prakash Baskota; Father of our founder Nishchal Banskota, took this initiative to rid his community out of poverty. Read more about his story here. Till this day, it remains a model social enterprise that runs on cooperative infrastructure and is truly focused on the triple bottom line of people and planet before profit.

Buddha’s Potion combines our award-winning White Prakash white tea with a blend of organic herbs and spices. This includes warming ingredients like ginger, cinnamon leaf, black cardamom, Sichuan pepper, lemongrass, turmeric, and orange peel. The result is a citrusy and floral white tea with a soothing warmth that will delight your taste buds.

All the herbs and spices are grown on our family farm, Kanchanjangha Tea Estate and Research Center (KTERC), and are hand-cultivated by local farmers. Each herb is carefully cleaned and dried to preserve its quality. These premium ingredients are then mixed with our White Prakash tea to create Buddha’s Potion, a perfect blend of white tea and warm spices.

Our tea estate thrives in the eastern region of Nepal, nestled in the foothills of Mt. Kanchanjangha, which is the third-highest mountain in the world. Located precisely near the western borders of Darjeeling, India and north of the Illam, the most famous tea growing region in Nepal, our small village enjoys the best of both worlds. Situated at an altitude of 1300-1800 meters (4,200 - 6000 feet), the area enjoys pristine himalayan climatic conditions to produce highly unique and aromatic teas.

The combination of turmeric and ginger with white tea makes this blend exceptionally healthy, thanks to the beneficial properties of its ingredients. It offers a gentle, calming experience that fans of sleepytime tea will especially appreciate. It is ideal for those seeking a soothing herbal tea blend before bedtime.

This blend was inspired by the opening of our first tea bar in Nepal, where we set out to explore tea blending, a concept that was relatively new in Nepal at the time. We aimed to create a subtle yet flavorful blend, perfect for our new customers to enjoy while relaxing with a warm cup.
