Young Mountain Tea Review

 

Today I got to have a tea party with my daughters. And the tea I used was from the company, Young Mountain tea.

The founder of the company, Raj, was working in the picturesque Kumaon region of the Himalayas. Traveling through busses crammed with people and goats, he went across an empty village after an empty village, each surrounded by a fallow countryside and swept away the roads. He discovered that abandoned cities were the results of urban displacement, a issue experienced by villages across the Himalayas. The youth of the region moved to cities in search of job prospects, and the once-rich farmland steadily became fragile, causing landslides during the monsoons. This is a company to build healthy communities by exceptional tea. Their goal is to build a demand that rises emerging tea makers, building vibrant mountain economies and safe land across the Indian subcontinent. Any purchase you make of Young Mountain Tea transforms people's lives and has a positive effect on the health of our world. Young Mountain Tea buys directly from growers and makers, thus cutting out traditional tea middlemen farmers in Kumaon, India, now generates five times more than the industry average per pound. And this is only the beginning. Today, they work with more than 850 farmers across India and Nepal to boost the quality of the teas and directly import them and market them to US tea aficionados. You can read so much more about Young Mountain tea on their beautiful website.

The first tea they I made for the girls and myself, was Young Mountain Tea, organic Nepali Green Pearl. The tea's come in a very pretty container, and to make them is very easy. You steep the tea, and serve when done, in about two and a half minutes. The taste is very sophisticated, and unique, with tones of smoked artichokes and lemons. The origin of the tea leaves come from Ilam, Eastern Neplai Himalayas, the maker is Tinjure Cooperative. This Tea from Young Mountain, is fresh, organic green tea rolled into tight pearls. They are handcrafted carefully to their shape, using heated pans. This helps to bring the range of aromas out and the flavors, when steeped. In fact you can use the pearls twice, and still have the same taste. The aromatics are that of a citrus bouquet, and it just fills the kitchen with such. It is a very sophisticated tea, that can be enjoyed any time of the day. Just a lovely tea that you will truly enjoy. A full read of this tea is also on the website and is very interesting, as all of the teas.

The second tasting was, Young Mountain organic Kumaon black tea. The taste profile is that of caramel and cocoa that is bittersweet, and amazing. The origin where the tea comes from is Kumaon, North Indian Himalayas. And the tea makers are Champawat Village. The Kumaon black tea is just nectar to your lips, and your palate. The black tea is smooth, and very well balanced, with a caramel undertone. Then you get the taste of bittersweet cocoa. The black tea is a nice light pleasant flavor over all. Difficult to over steep, the fruity and bitter-chocolate undertones are accompanied by a lingering, creamy texture.

The last tea is that is from Young Mountain tea, is organic Kumaon white. A very flavorful tea with taste of melon and cucumbers, and then a after note of cinnamon. This was the first time all of us ever had this type of tea, and it will not be our last. The origin of the tea is Kumaon, North Indian Himalayas as well as the black. And from the same tea maker, Champawat Village. The tea is bright and very aromatic, with a extraordinary taste. The bush's that the tea is harvested from is over two hundred years old. The taste is clean and has lovely floral aromas.

Young Mountain tea, has a lovely website, that gives you a ton of information about their products. It goes into great detail, and is a very interesting read. All the products would make a great tea party, or just to have a cup and relax. They are all high quality, and should be tried. With every sip you take, you can savor the love and handcrafted work that went into the making of these tea's.
