Danfe 128° Mt. Pumori Golden Tips Tea – USDA Certified Organic Black Tea

Discover the elegance of Danfe's 128° Mt. Pumori Golden Tips Tea, a premium organic black tea hand-plucked from the high ridges of Ilam, Nepal. Harvested during autumn flush at ~6,500 ft elevation, this one-leaf-and-bud style develops golden tips naturally rich in theaflavins, creating a deep amber cup with remarkable depth and silky mouthfeel.

The flavor unfolds in layers: opening with caramelized honey and toasted cashew notes, moving into subtle floral malt and dried apricot, and finishing with a soft, buttery warmth that feels almost meditative. Full-bodied yet refined, this blend offers the velvety creaminess and nutty character tea enthusiasts seek in high-altitude Himalayan varieties.

Unlike mass-produced alternatives, this organic tea comes from grower-owned estates cultivated without chemicals, capturing both the purity of mountain terroir and the care of sustainable farming. The cup reveals clarity and complexity that speaks to its careful processing and premium sourcing.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does 128° Mt. Pumori Golden Tips Tea contain caffeine?
  Yes. As a fully oxidized black tea, this blend delivers moderate to high caffeine—similar to coffee—making it ideal for morning or afternoon enjoyment. White and green teas have less caffeine by comparison.
• How does this Danfe tea compare to green or white tea?
  This is a black tea with full oxidation, which creates deeper, richer flavors and more caffeine than white or green varieties. If you prefer lighter, more delicate cups, white tea may suit you better; if you want bold character and sustained energy, this black tea excels.
• What does one leaf and a bud mean?
  This refers to the hand-plucking standard—the newest leaf plus the unopened bud below it. This selective harvest yields premium quality with natural sweetness and complexity.
