Panda Gold is our heartiest tea from the high mountains of Nepal. The flavor encompasses a deep earthy foundation to complex and lingering aromatics. While some teas are easy to pin down, Panda Gold defies an easy summary. It has no loud notes or rough edges. Instead, the flavor develops gradually. Every sip seems to linger a long, long time. Whether you like a woodsy sweetness, or a fruity–spicy black tea—or anything in between—there's something here for you.

This tippy tea is good for multiple steeps. For a stouter cup, try one long steep; Panda Gold has virtually no astringency.

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.

Purchase of Panda Gold directly impacts the Red Panda Network in Nepal. Think of these contributions as you steep and drink this tea.

Emma ★★★★★

The first sip of this tea really surprised me—the earthy richness is so deep, and it leaves a complex, lingering sweetness that I've never found in other single-origin teas. Perfect for a quiet afternoon.

Madison I. ★★★★★

I wasn't expecting much from a Himalayan tea, but the aromatics on this one really linger after each sip. It's hearty enough that I've been drinking it plain all week instead of my usual milk and sugar.

Joseph H. ★★★★★

The earthy base hits first, then those lingering aromatics show up a few sips later and stay with you. I've been brewing it every morning this week and it holds up well without turning bitter. Easily the heartiest tea in my cupboard right now.
