Heritage and Handpicked Quality
The leaves are gathered from farms located at the foothills of the Nepalese Himalayas – a mountainous range known for its majestic snow-capped peaks, pristine water sources, and rich soil full of natural minerals that create the most ideal environment for agricultural growth. The herbs are hand-picked from a single garden at their peak, chosen only when ready and from only the finest parts. Slow-drying at low temperatures helps preserve all those natural healing properties… It’s a process that marries ancient tradition with modern care, ensuring that every cup of tea carries the legacy of these remarkable mountains.
Flavor and Experience
Gurung blends offer a fuller flavor experience with each infusion. Curious drinkers can enjoy hero-healing turmeric that brings warmth and comfort, chamomile that soothes and relaxes the mind, and ginger that sparks energy. The specially curated blends of whole leaves are gathered into roomy pyramid bags – a design that allows the tea to expand, flow, and infuse into every sip. Additionally, the knitted pouches made from a plant-based renewable material are hypoallergenic and biodegradable, merging timeless tradition with eco-friendly innovation… This blend of quality and design truly enhances the tea-drinking experience.
