Panda Ruby Red is an organic Nepalese tea, grown at the base of the Himalayas. Nuance builds the longer you sip. Dark aroma lends a sweet impression, fruity and malty, not unlike dark chocolate. With a light body. The taste is clean, with a transparent profile, allowing a wide range of flavor notes shine. A chewy center with maple–sweetness hits the back of the throat. Notice fruity, spicy, almost smoky notes. A re-steep tastes lighter, brighter, with even more distinct flavor. This tea is worth spending time with.
We directly source this single origin black tea through the Red Panda Network in Nepal. Red pandas, like many endangered animals, have been driven near to extinction due to poaching and deforestation. We’re proud to carry this tea, and to support the Network’s important mission of restoring red panda habitat, while also building a sustainable economy on the ground.
