Danfe Signature Golden Tips Black Tea

Experience the refined elegance of Danfe Signature Golden Tips Tea, a first-flush black tea hand-selected from the mountainous Ilam region at 7000–7500 feet elevation. This loose-leaf blend showcases golden tips—the prized buds that signal exceptional quality and careful harvesting.

What sets this tea apart is its smooth, robust character with naturally low astringency. Unlike heavily processed blacks, minimal handling preserves the delicate aromatics and fresh complexity that emerge across multiple infusions. The terroir shines through: you'll notice rich, nuanced notes that reflect the Himalayan terroir in every steep.

Danfe's commitment to quality means no shortcuts—only whole leaves and golden buds make it into your cup. This tea rewards both casual enjoyment and focused tasting sessions, and it's generous enough to deliver full flavor across two infusions.
