Nestled in the high-altitude gardens, Himalko Tea imports well-made black teas with full-bodied flavour and character. Each shipment of tea leaves is hand-picked, and all teas are oxidised naturally and processed minimally in order to retain deep malty flavours, amber colour, and richness in antioxidants. From single-origin SFTGFOP to the luxurious Himalko Black Gold Tea, all blends speak of authenticity and quality, which in turn can be traced back to ancient Nepali traditions. Whether it is full-bodied milk tea or character-rich refined plain tea that you enjoy, Himalko Tea's blends are warming, energising, Himalayan experiences with every brew, thus equally enjoyed daily or at momentous occasions.

The Himalayan Origins and True Craftsmanship

Himalko Tea derives its identity from a love for high-altitude tea and from a sustainable vision to bring Nepali tea culture to the world. Black teas come from the unspoiled slopes of the Himalayas, where altitude, soil, and climate combine to create naturally bold-profiled leaves. The brand believes in minimal processing and careful oxidation to showcase each tea's character, whether malt, caramel, honey, or roasted notes. 

Signature Black Blends: From Amber to Gold

The Himalko collection features several black teas with a distinction. The Premium Black brews to a rich amber with malty, cocoa, and caramel undertones- robust enough for milk yet balanced enough to sip plain. Himalko Gold Black Tea, long-oxidised and wood-dried, displays wild honey and apricot flavours that complement the hue it has earned through careful processing. Such profiles make Himalko's black teas breakfast-worthy or guzzled on a carefree afternoon.

Brewing Tips Towards a Fuller Cup

For extracting the full character of Himalko black teas, use 1-1.5 teaspoons (1.5-3 g) of leaves for each 8 oz of water. Heat water to almost boiling (200-212°F) and steep for 2-5 minutes, depending on how bold you like your cup. Shorter steep times will bring forth floral and caramel notes; longer infusions accentuate the malt and cocoa tones. These very few simple tricks will help retain the natural antioxidants and aroma of the tea. 

Modern Twists: Go for the Bold Shot or Our Signature Blend

While Himalko remains faithful to tradition, the series invites innovation. A few quick shots of the bold black lead to a small shot of tea, stronger yet holds warmth and energy to the body without adding all the sugar or preservatives in conventional energy drinks. For an equally lighter option, the pairing of names and tastes can lead to a signature house blend with these playful names, Black Gold Texas Tea or Texas Tea Black Gold​ on your menu — pairing Himalko's malt and honey notes with a touch of citrus or spice for a Texas-style twist.

Why Himalko Tea?

Himalka's advantages are unmistakable: high-altitude sourcing, carefully done minimal processing, and a selection of black teas that run the gamut from bold daily drinkers to sophisticated single-origin ones. Be it SFTGFOP, Dark Pearl, Premium, or Gold- all are connected to Nepali tradition and fine craftsmanship.
