กาฐมาณฑุ

Wasn't expecting much from a Nepali tea but this one's got a lovely soft, almost honeyed finish that lingers. I've been brewing it on weekend mornings while the house is still quiet, and it's become a small ritual I look forward to.

The first sip tastes like a cool morning in the hills, earthy and a little sweet at the same time. I've been brewing a pot every afternoon and it never turns harsh even when I forget about it for a few minutes.

The tea has this soft, almost musky sweetness that reminds me of walking through misty hillsides. I've been brewing it on slow weekend mornings, and the leaves hold up for a second steep without turning bitter.
