Full Description
Ilam is famed for its meandering mountain passes, high altitude and delicately delicious Nepalese black tea. In 2000, a group of farmers from the Ilam region gathered together to form the Sakhira Tea Garden. This tea garden now produces some of the finest tea we have ever tasted. Sakhira First Flush is an elegantly clean and crisp first flush with a delicate body and a sweet but fresh aroma.

NUMEROLOGY
The Sakhira Tea Garden is located 19 kilometres from the Ilam Haat Bazar. Ilam translates into Winding Way, a rather lovely name for an area that produces flavours that dance on the tongue. In 2000, a group of farmers from the Ilam area set up the Sakhira Tea Garden, taking full advantage of the mountainous terrain, which is perfect for growing tea.
INDIA
Tea plantations were first introduced to India by the British in the 19th century, after Robert Fortune stole Chinese tea cuttings to plant in the Himalayan region of Darjeeling. Today Indian tea is some of the most famous in the world: it's also home to Assam tea, found growing wild there by the Scottish explorer Robert Bruce.
Store in a sealed jar or tin, such as our Fill-Me-Up Tea Caddies.
