Tihar Smoked Oolong is a single-origin, oak-smoked oolong from Ilam, Nepal — one of the country's rarest teas. Hand-picked during the crisp autumn harvest and slow-smoked over oak in our cooperative's small smoke-house, it brews a bold, aromatic cup with deep notes of smoked oak, charcoal, and dark caramel. Whole-leaf and finished in a limited seasonal run that sells through quickly.
Built for fans of Lapsang Souchong who want a single-origin alternative outside Fujian, Tihar is smoked over oak (not pine) — so the smoke profile is rounder, less resinous, and pairs cleanly with dark chocolate, aged cheese, hearty meals, or a cozy winter evening on its own. Note: Tihar is not USDA Certified Organic — small smoke-house production doesn't qualify — but the leaf comes from the same Ilam co-ops as our certified line.
