I love the pure himalayan black tea with superb stronger flavor and rich color.I personally experienced many health benefits from this himalayan tea and the most important thing is these tea comes with great taste in very affordable price :wink:

Himalayan blacks can come from Darjeeling, Sikim, Nepal ... while I am not drinking them currently, they are often outstanding.

However buying a tea bearing these origins does not guarantee a great tea as there are lots of shananigans going on there. Teas labeled simply "Himalayan" tend to be more generic from some vendors such as Upton and less interesting.

Buying fresh and from a reputable source will help to assure a level of success.

thanks chip i didnt know...
mine were like darjeeling, not a bad tea but simply not interesting to me.
it was from nepal... it was ok from taste, just for myself not really interesting, and even so im not an expert on indian tea and i know sikkim only from hearsay, i would say the tea was much like a darjeeling. i would say a bit weak for a black tea.

True, they are champagne of black teas compared to the whiskey, scotch, bourbon of Chinese blacks and the malts of Assam. A very different animal.

I have a Nepalese grocery store pretty close by...should I attempt to procure some tea? I think they'd probably hand me something pretty crappy, but you never know :)

I'm looking forward to try a Himalayan tea. I think is great to have different flavors and experiences from different regions. If anyone know where to get a descent to great one, let me know.
