Sandakphu Spring White Tea

Vegetal, rich, smooth
Finely plucked one leaf and a bud is processed into white tea in an ancient Chinese style. An almost clear liquor belies the rich and vegetal flavor in this sublime choice.

Sandakphu Spring White Tea was an award winning tea at the 2012 North American Tea Championship.

This win in the White Tea category is significant as it speaks to the craftsmanship of Nepali tea producers and the impressive flavor in their leaf. Nepal’s young plants, rich soils, careful cultivation and innovative manufacturing methods all contribute to a taste that rivals the world’s best.

Amy oh

I ordered a smaller size bag of this about a month ago but am just getting around to trying it now.

I have loved all my white teas from RtR so I had really high hopes for this one. The leaves smell so sweet and fresh in the bag and are long, fluffy and slightly fuzzy.

This is a lovely white tea, it’s slighly vegetal with flavors of freshly shucked corn and cream. There’s a slight fruity sweetness in the finish reminiscent of nectarines. I’m not surprised this tea was a North American champion, it’s really nice!
