Gold Black Tea is a smooth, single-origin loose leaf black tea from Ilam, Nepal — grown at 5,500 ft above sea level on Farmers Tea Co.'s certified organic farm. Gentle malt, light caramel, honey sweetness, and a clean golden-tipped finish. The everyday black tea for coffee drinkers making the switch — no bitterness, ever. The Story of Gold Black Tea Not every great tea has to announce itself. Gold Black Tea is the kind of cup you reach for every morning — smooth, satisfying, and effortlessly drinkable from the first sip to the last drop. It is grown at 5,500 ft in Malate, Ilam, on Farmers Tea Co.'s certified organic farm under the guidance of Dil Kumar Rai and 150 farming families and youth artisans who have built this farm into one of Ilam's premier organic operations. The golden tips in this tea are not cosmetic — they are a marker of young, carefully selected leaves picked at the right moment in the spring flush. The high-altitude growing conditions slow the leaf's development and concentrate the natural sugars, producing that characteristic honey sweetness and clean finish without a trace of the bitterness that mass-market black teas carry. This is the tea that converts coffee drinkers.
