• • • Amber Red is a double-roasted black tea with complex flavors and a satisfying full texture. The leaves have a strong, earthy-sweet fragrance that are characteristic of Nepal's high-altitude teas. Like many roasted teas, this tea will become even better with time if stored properly. Created by Hariyali Cooperative, one of the nation's independent growers that is working to create a name for Nepal in the specialty tea industry.
