The Most Awarded Tea in Our Catalog — First Flush, Hand-Rolled at 7,000 Feet

★★★★★"This is hands down the smoothest, most luxurious black tea I've ever tasted. Worth every penny." — Verified review · 4.9★ average from 15 reviews

Sagarmatha Gold is our rarest and most awarded Nepal black tea — a USDA Organic first-flush harvest from 7,000 ft in Ilam, hand-rolled by master artisans over multiple days. The cup pours golden-amber and tastes of milk chocolate, hazelnut, cocoa powder, oat, and cane sugar — naturally sweet, deeply layered, low in astringency. Named after Sagarmatha (Mount Everest), it earned Highly Commended at THE LEAFIES 2024 and first place at a blind tasting at Everest Base Camp. The same lot was later auctioned at €110/kg to Australia's Sharyn Johnston, creator of The Tea Wheel.

⏳ Currently sold out — back end of July / August 2026

Sagarmatha Gold is harvested once a year from a single small batch of first-flush spring buds. Our 2025 lot sold out fast. The next limited harvest arrives late July / early August 2026 after spring picking and processing in Ilam.
