The origins of our Organic Jun Chiyabari White Tea
The name Jun Chiyabari means "Moonlit Tea Garden" in Nepali, is an organic tea farm in Dhankuta district of east Nepal.
The family-owned tea garden was established in the year 2000 by the brothers Lochan and Bachan Gyawali, who are passionate about high-mountain teas, particularly making authentically Nepalese speciality teas. The teas from Jun Chiyabari had definitely placed the Nepal teas up there with its close rival Darjeeling and most importantly this is not a replica of the Darjeeling first flush, but a tea with a true reflection of the terroir and seasonality of high mountain tea gardens of Nepal.

Picking Season
Picked during the early spring between April-May, these hand-rolled white tea made with unopened buds and a tender leaf offers an aroma that resemble fresh spring blossoms. The light golden hue infusion is delicate and light with floral and tropical fruit notes. This tea is distinctly a high-mountain Himalayan wonder.
The location is the perfect climate for growing this tea because it is mistier, with less sun, and thanks to the high altitude it remains cooler which allows the buds to grow steadily.
