This tea makes an enjoyable breakfast tea, but does not have the fullness of flavor of the Shangri La tea that my son brought back from Nepal last December.
This tea had everything I look for in a morning tea. Natural sweetness, full flavor and multiple infusions:)
I will buy more. It is quite enjoyable as we sip it while sitting on our back deck listening to the morning birds. Lovely aroma and mouthfeel.
This may be the most satisfying tea I’ve had. It’s beautifully balanced, very flavorful, with a subtle “berryness” that’s difficult for me to really describe. It’s awesome cold.
This Oolong is by far the best I’ve ever tasted. The leaves are robust and intact whole tea leaves. By following the suggested brew time and temps, I have been enjoying a perfect cup of tea every morning since my order arrived last week. The flavor is bright and subtley sweet. I like a touch of milk which adds a delightful creaminess to the honey notes. So delicious! My only constructive criticism is that I’d love a resealable bag - I like to change up what teas I drink throughout the week and having to transfer every tea into an airtight container is less space-efficient than if I could keep each one in its original resealable packaging. Thank you NTC!

Kanchanjangha Tea Estate and Research Center Pvt. Ltd. (KTERC). KTERC is the first certified organic tea garden in Nepal that was established in 1984 by Mr. Deepak Prakash Baskota to rid his community of poverty. It remains a model social enterprise still today, that runs on cooperative infrastructure and is truly focused on the people and planet before profit.
Our Shangri-la Oolong is quite an artistic and unique loose leaf oolong tea. It is not as subtle and/or light as Taiwanese oolongs, rather, it mostly resembles some darker roasted Chinese Oolongs. It does not follow the multiple rolling and oxidation process that a typical oolong would go through. Instead, matured leaves are plucked, withered for a few hours and placed through an enzymer to soften the leaves and also stop the oxidation to a degree. The tea leaves then go through about 30-40 mins rolling process in varying pressure levels. The soft and rubbery leaves are oxidized for another 2 hours before finishing the tea in a commercial dryer resulting in a darker quite heavily oxidized nutty oolong. We’ve been a fan of this oolong tea since its first production and have received tremendous positive reviews ever since.
Our tea garden is nestled in the foothills of Mt. Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world, in the eastern part of Nepal. 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 a pristine himalayan climatic conditions to produce highly unique and aromatic teas.
This loose leaf oolong tea will impress both the beginner and the sophisticated tea connoisseurs. The big debate of whether to classify this as a black tea or an oolong will surely remain and will invoke many fun conversations. Tea drinkers who enjoy any Chinese or roasted taiwanese oolongs, darjeeling teas will surely be mystified positively by what this tea can offer. We also recommend you try our oolong cold-brewed as well; you might think it is a completely different tea!
A leisurely activity full of sensory storytelling, this guided tea tasting allows for a great team-building experience.
