From the mountainous region of Colombia, in an area steeped in biodiversity, along the western slope of the Andes, is the Bitaco tea estate. The gentle mist from the mountains, rich soil, and ample rainfall all stimulate the growth of the tea bushes, producing a tea with unique characteristics.
Bitaco Tea owns over 200 acres of tea plants that are cultivated at over 6,000 feet above sea level in the region of Choco. This region enjoys a high rainfall and has exceptional biodiversity. The tea gardens are located next to a thriving, protected rain forest, the Bitaco Regional Forest Reserve, where there is a wide diversity of flora and fauna: 256 bird species, 28 amphibian species, 23 reptile species and 772 species of plants. The garden, located near the Equator, enjoys a consistent climate which results in a bountiful production of tasty, delicate tea-tips that are picked and processed throughout the year.
Bitaco Tea not only cultivates exceptional teas, they also are committed to their community. They created the Agricola Himalaya Foundation to develop and improve programs focusing on education, especially for local children. Activities focus on the improvement of infrastructure, recreational opportunities, local culture and access to technology. See more at: Agricola Himalaya Foundation

Backlog (17 May 2024) & Sip Down
This was the first tea sipped over the long weekend. I meant to drink more and have more time with tea, but the weekend was overly busy. Which is fine. I had the time off, so I was more than happy to fill it! Anyway, I drank this western style during breakfast. I wish I remembered the meal, but we’re not here to discuss the food. :)
I jotted on the packet, “Nutty, sweet, bitter, and smooth. Not too much of an experience than it being a decent cup of green tea.” I really ought to take the time to really think about these sessions, but I enjoy going with the flow of the day and cup sometimes.
