Origin: India

Introduction: Home to the highest mountains in the world, and the famous 'Darjeeling' tea growing region. Himalayan Green is grown at an elevation of 4,500 feet and hand-plucked in spring. Tea plants at high elevations grow slower and retain relatively more flavor than lower elevation plants. The leaves are baked and dried at low heat to give a floral, muscat aroma and a distinctive sweet, smooth aftertaste. Some find the flavor to be similar to green bananas, honeysuckle and kumquat.
