Hariyali Amber | Red
Hariyali Amber is a roasted black tea with sweet, full flavors. The tea is handpicked, rolled, and fully oxidized. It is then roasted once during the finishing process, resulting in a cup with almost no astringency or dryness. This is because roasting decreases the amount of caffeine and bitterness in tea.
The tea leaves and liquor have a deep, lush fragrance, like radishes and flowers, that is characteristic of Nepal's high-altitude teas. The garden where the tea plants is teeming with native plants, mosses, and bugs, demonstrating incredible fertility and soil health.
Grower: Hariyali Cooperative
Tea Maker: Sarad Subba, Hariyali Cooperative
Location: Jasbirey Village - Ilam District, Nepal
Elevation: 1,600m (5,200ft)
Cultivation: Natural (Organic, but no certification)
Cup: Chocolate Malt + Sweet Potato + White Grape
Led by community leader Purna Mukhiya, Hariyali Cooperative is an independent grower seeking to make a name for Nepal on the international tea stage. Tea has been growing here for decades and as a result, many of the teamakers here are some of the most knowledgeable handcrafters in Nepal - nearly all of which have inherited the skills from their parents and grandparents. Sharad Subba, one of the most skilled crafters, is the son of one of the village's "Mothers of Tea", a group of women who have been making tea for decades. Hariyali's teamakers have learned to intuitively handle tea leaves, changing the crafting of various batches of tea to suit the personality of each tea field's harvest.
The tea plants are grown at high altitude, with wonderfully fertile soil that seems alive with bugs, native plants, and wildflowers. The farmers of the cooperative grow with all-natural methods, using natural manures. The name "Hariyali" describes a beautiful, vivid green landscape.
Hariyali Cooperative is located near Mai Pokhari, a beautiful lake of great religious and natural significance. Purna Mukhiya's grandfather and grandmother were key to establishing the lake as a spiritual grounds.
