About Young Mountain Tea
Young Mountain Tea is an online importer in Springfield, Oregon, founded in 2013 by Raj Vable after a Fulbright fellowship in the Kumaon foothills of northern India. It ships within the US, free over $49, and has no shop.
The company buys directly from small farmers and producers in Kumaon, Darjeeling, the Nilgiris and Nepal. It partners with a farmer-owned tea factory in Kumaon and sends 1% of each purchase there. That makes it one of the few US sources for Kumaon tea at all. Start with Kumaon White, then add Nilgiri Platinum Needle or Organic Nepali Golden Black for a broader picture of South Asian tea beyond Assam and Darjeeling.
