This full-bodied Nepalese tea is grown in the foothills of Mt. Kanchanjangha by the team at the Kanchanjangha Tea Estate. With a honey-sweet aroma, this is a wonderfully fruity black tea.
A Gold winner at the 2024 Leafies - Kumari Gold is an aromatic, golden black tea that will wow tea beginners and experts alike.
Grown at a high elevation (between 4,200 - 6,000ft), the flavour of the resulting liquor is not unlike those from nearby Darjeeling. Expect caramel and brown sugar aromas, baked fruit and honey notes, with an earthy long-lasting finish.
Borrowing her middle name, this special tea is a dedication to Dambar Kumari who planted the first tea bush on their estate in 1984. And just like the rest of our plastic-free packaging, our Guest Tea tubes are fully recyclable.

OUR APPROACH
Quality
We work hard to find, taste and select exceptional teas, first and foremost looking for quality and flavour in the cup. We focus on single-origin, whole leaf teas where the character is a direct reflection of the area in which it is grown, as well as the craft involved in growing, plucking and processing the leaves.
There are an infinite number of teas being produced every year, so our role is to find and bring you some of the best. Our care in curating the range, as well as the quality of the product itself, has earned us both our customers’ trust and multiple Great Taste awards.
Sourcing
Not only does the tea need to taste good, it is also important to us that we know exactly where each tea comes from and who is responsible for harvesting and crafting the leaves we buy.
We work exclusively with trusted farms, co-operatives, partners and suppliers who share our values. We source from 13 growing regions around the world, always paying well above fair-trade prices.
Brewing
Sourcing and curating a collection of delicious, award-winning teas from around the world is only the beginning. We then provide the knowledge and tools you need to help you bring out the best possible flavour in every cup when brewing at home.
As a team of passionate brewers, blenders, tasters, curators and, perhaps most importantly, drinkers of delicious tea, we get excited about helping you make a delicious cup of tea every time.
Packaging
We are committed to reducing any environmental impact our packaging has before and after use. There is no perfect solution so we focus on keeping it as minimal and as natural as possible, without compromising on the quality of our product. We are proud to say that our entire retail range is now both fully compostable and 100% plastic-free. Find out more here.
