Sourced from deep within the forests of Manipur, the galangal used in this tea grows naturally in the wild, untouched by cultivation. Found beneath dense forest canopies, these roots are foraged carefully, preserving their raw, earthy character and natural intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"1180\"\u003eThe strength of black tea forms a bold base, while galangal adds a warm, spicy depth that feels grounding and aromatic.

Unlike conventional tea estate or cultivated tea bushes, wild teas are ungroomed and unfurnished by any commercial activity. The plants are not owned or managed by any commercial entity. They grow much bigger and taller, production is much lesser, picking is much more difficult because of the terrain \u0026amp; tree size and most WILD TEA are hand crafted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You’ll Love This Tea\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA bold black tea blended with wild forest-grown galangal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrafted from wild-grown green tea leaves and naturally sun-dried galangal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA tea that feels raw, rooted, and distinctly regional.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Manipur’s biodiverse forests, where nature nurtures every leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1457\" data-end=\"1476\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1457\" data-end=\"1476\"\u003eHealth Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1601\"\u003eContains naturally occurring antioxidants present in black tea.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1601\"\u003eProvides caffeine that helps support alertness and focus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1601\"\u003eIn Manipur, galangal has traditionally been used in herbal infusions consumed during cold seasons to keep the body warm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1603\" data-end=\"1625\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1603\" data-end=\"1625\"\u003eBest Time to Drink\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1627\" data-end=\"1702\"\u003eWell suited for morning or afternoon when you want a strong, grounding cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1704\" data-end=\"1729\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1704\" data-end=\"1729\"\u003eBest When Paired With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1731\" data-end=\"1911\"\u003eIndian: Savoury Snacks, Roasted Foods and Spiced Biscuits\u003cbr data-start=\"1788\" data-end=\"1791\"\u003eSouth East Asian: Savoury Rice Dishes and Mildly Spiced Snacks\u003cbr data-start=\"1853\" data-end=\"1856\"\u003eContinental: Savoury Crackers, Toast and Rustic Bakes\u003cstrong data-start=\"1913\" data-end=\"1930\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3009\" data-end=\"3024\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3411\" data-end=\"3428\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3411\" data-end=\"3428\"\u003eThe Tea Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1932\" data-end=\"2409\"\u003eForest Pick is a brand rooted in the idea of respectful foraging and small-batch craftsmanship. It celebrates ingredients that grow wild in their natural ecosystems, sourced carefully from forests rather than farms. In the forests of Manipur, galangal grows untamed beneath thick vegetation, thriving in rich soil and humid conditions. Local foragers venture deep into these forests to identify and harvest mature galangal roots, ensuring minimal disruption to the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2411\" data-end=\"2707\"\u003eThis philosophy of forest picking is carried through every step of the tea’s creation. Combined with carefully selected black tea, the wild galangal brings an authentic expression of place, resulting in a tea that reflects the landscape, culture, and quiet resilience of Manipur’s forest regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery sip of Forest Pick Wild Black Tea with Galangal tells this story — of a land where tea trees thrive untamed, nourished only by nature. It’s more than a drink — it’s a taste of the wild, captured gently in your cup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forest Pick","offers":[{"title":"50 g","offer_id":52605766500668,"sku":"FP-WBTG-50","price":299.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/7336\/3772\/files\/ForestpickwildgreenteawithGalangal.png?v=1767769934","url":"https:\/\/thesecretoftea.com\/en-ae\/products\/forest-pick-wild-black-tea-with-galangal-handcrafted-tea-from-the-forests-of-manipur","provider":"The Secret of Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
