Shangri-La – White tea from Nepal with floral aromas and silver tips
Shangri-La is a sublime white tea from the high-altitude tea fields of Nepal (1200–2100m). This rare spring harvest consists of hand-processed, silvery buds. The flavor is refined and floral, with notes of apricot, citrus, and hay. Thanks to its low caffeine content, this tea is perfect for the evening and for those with sensitive stomachs.
Why choose Shangri-La?
Shangri-La is harvested in early spring, when the tea bushes' buds are still closed. These white tea leaves are carefully hand-picked and dried, resulting in a unique, almost meditative taste experience.
The high altitude of the tea fields allows for slow growth, which enhances the complexity of the aromas. The smooth, clear infusion is floral and slightly sweet, with a clean finish. Its naturally low caffeine content makes it an ideal evening tea.
A tea with character, which fits perfectly with the philosophy of chefs such as Sergio Herman: pure, artisanal and elegant.
Flavor profile
