Organic Vietnam Tea & Kumaon Tea

Organic Vietnam Tea & Kumaon Tea

Kumaon tea comes from one of the most breathtaking, yet underappreciated tea-growing regions in India. Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, Kumaon offers the perfect elevation, soil, and climate for producing rich, flavorful teas that deserve far more attention than they get.

At British Tea Centre, we’ve brought in handpicked selections from Kumaon — including smooth, malty kumaon black tea and delicate, floral kumaon white tea — each with its own story and character. These teas aren’t mass-produced. They’re crafted in small batches by local farmers who are helping revive the tea tradition in this historic region.

Whether you're a seasoned tea drinker or just beginning your journey, kumaon tea is something truly special — bold, honest, and rooted in Himalayan soil.

Tucked away in India’s northern Uttarakhand region, kumaon tea is grown at elevations ranging from 4,000 to 6,500 feet. The high altitude, crisp mountain air, and rich soil create the perfect growing conditions for tea leaves that develop complex flavour profiles and deep aroma.

Kumaon black tea is known for its bright liquor, gentle astringency, and honeyed malt notes. It’s bold without being too sharp, and perfect for those who enjoy a morning cup with strength and depth. The leaf is often rolled by hand, and when brewed right, the result is a tea that feels both powerful and balanced.

Kumaon white tea, on the other hand, is all about subtlety. Made from the youngest buds and handled with extreme care, it brews into a pale, golden cup with notes of melon, stone fruit, and soft florals. Because it’s minimally processed, it’s packed with antioxidants and ideal for slow, mindful sipping.

What sets kumaon tea apart is the way it's grown — by smallholders using sustainable farming practices that not only preserve the land but also empower local communities. These teas are not only a delight to drink but a way to support ethical sourcing and Himalayan tea heritage.

For those looking to explore something different yet deeply rooted in tradition, kumaon black tea and kumaon white tea are both worth a place in your tea collection.
