Danfe 119° Mt. Pumori Special White Tea – USDA Certified Organic

Experience one of Nepal's rarest white teas, hand-harvested from Ilam's high-elevation gardens at ~6,500 ft in the Himalayas. Danfe's 119° Mt. Pumori Special White Tea captures the essence of spring with only the youngest buds and first leaves—each blanketed in delicate silver down—plucked during first flush when mountain mists kiss the tea plants awake.

This exceptional white tea undergoes virtually no processing; the freshly picked leaves are simply withered and sun-dried to preserve their natural enzymes, silky texture, and inherent sweetness. The result is a whisper-light liquor with a soft golden hue, subtle elegance, and naturally low caffeine—pure mountain terroir in every infusion.
