Mystique Mélange

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 focussed on the triple bottom line of people and planet before profit.

Mystique Melange is a green tea blend mixed with organic herbs and spices. The base of this green tea is generally made using our green tea “Kanchanjangha Verde”. Further, warming herbs and spices such as Organic Cinnamon Leaf, Organic Ginger, Organic Mint, Organic Lemongrass, and Orange peel are added to this green tea mix. This combination creates the perfect balance between the warming spices and fruity notes of the tea.

Alongside our green tea; “Kanchanjangha Verde”, each herbs and spices mentioned above are produced at our family farm; Kanchanjangha Tea Estate and Research Center (KTERC), hand cultivated by our local farmers. All the mentioned herbs are meticulously cleaned, and dried according to each of their criterias. The final dried herbs and loose leaf green tea are mixed together to create our Kanchanjangha Verde, making it the perfect green tea with warm spice.

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.

This tea is ideal for those seeking an herbal blend with minimal caffeine. Its fruity and floral flavors make it a delightful choice for children and young adults who may prefer a simpler, more approachable alternative to pure teas.

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.
