Description
The Heart of the Himalayan Harvest
The Himalayan Gold • Classic is our tribute to the traditional “Orthodox” style of tea making that has defined the mountain ridges for generations. While our Reserve and Selection tiers focus on the rarest buds, the Classic is a celebration of the full tea leaf. It is a robust, honest, and deeply satisfying black tea that brings the crisp mountain air into your home.
A Bold and Grounding Profile
Crafted for those who appreciate a stronger, more traditional cup, the Classic offers a deep mahogany liquor and a powerful aroma. On the palate, it is grounding and malted, featuring notes of wild honey, damp earth, and a hint of spice. It possesses a pleasant briskness that wakes up the senses, making it the ideal choice for those who transition from coffee to high-end tea.
Traceability and Origin
Even our classic tier follows our strict “Quiet Luxury” philosophy—sourced directly from smallholder farms where biodiversity is respected.

Brewing the Classic
The Classic is designed for durability. It stands up beautifully to boiling water (100°C). Steep for 4 minutes to achieve a full-bodied strength. This is our most recommended tea for those who enjoy a traditional “English Style” tea with milk and honey, though its natural sweetness shines when taken pure.
