Rare Leaves Gold - Single Estate Nepalese Black Tea

A single estate Nepalese black tea in the Darjeeling style — malty, honeyed, and quietly luxurious.

Some teas are everyday. Rare Leaves Gold is chosen like a gem: a single estate black tea from Kathmandu, Nepal, grown at 1,800 meters and hand picked for exceptional beauty and flavor. Crafted in a Darjeeling style, it's full-bodied and malty with a smooth, honeyed finish — the kind of steady, golden cup that makes a morning feel intentional.

It's warming on its own, beautiful with milk, and rich enough to revisit for 2–3 infusions from the same leaves.

What It Tastes Like

Roasted barley, clover, and honey. Full-bodied without heaviness, with a malty depth that rewards slow sipping.

How to Brew

Brew with hot water and a 4–5 minute steep, then reinfuse the same leaves 2–3 times — the character keeps unfolding. Lovely plain; a splash of milk brings out the honeyed sweetness.

The Rare Leaves Tin

Because precious tea deserves real protection, Rare Leaves are packed in a premium tea caddy CNC milled from a solid block of aluminum — airtight and light-tight to preserve freshness, fully recyclable, and delivered in a sleek magnetic-closure gift box. A gift that needs no wrapping.
