From the mountains of Nepal (and why this tea matters)

There are some teas you source because they’re good.
And then there are teas you source because they tell a story.

This one is both.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be travelling to Nepal — to spend time closer to where this tea is grown, harvested, and crafted. But before I go, I wanted to share a little glimpse of what’s coming.

A slower kind of tea

High in the Himalayas, tea grows differently.

The elevation, the mist, the rhythm of the seasons — everything slows down. And that shows up in the cup.

Nepali teas are often compared to Darjeeling, but they carry something softer, more rounded, and uniquely their own.

This particular black tea is:

• organically grown
• carefully hand-picked
• traditionally processed

From rolling to drying, every step is intentional — designed to bring out depth without harshness.

Why sourcing matters

One of the reasons I was drawn to this tea is how it’s sourced.

Through partners like Nepal Tea Collective, teas are brought directly from small-holder farmers — with no middlemen — creating a more transparent and ethical supply chain.

Even more importantly, part of the revenue goes back into supporting those farming communities.

That kind of connection matters to me.

Because what we’re building with Bush Berry has always been about more than just tea — it’s about where it comes from, and who it supports.

What it tastes like

This is not a heavy, overly bold black tea.

It’s smooth.
Balanced.
Easy to drink.

There’s a natural softness to it — the kind of tea you don’t need to adjust or fix. It just… works.

And once you taste it, you understand why it’s worth travelling for.

This is just the beginning

This post is just a preview.

In May, I’ll be heading to Nepal to experience more of this process firsthand — the land, the people, and the story behind the leaves.

I’ll be sharing along the way.

For now, this is your first look at something we’ve been quietly working on.

Launching soon.
