Makaibari Estate Darjeeling 1st Flush Black Tea
Organic, Fair Trade Certified
|
This outstanding tea is biodynamically farmed at the Makaibari estate in India's Darjeeling district. Established in 1859, Markaibari is the oldest estate in Darjeeling, where a strong commitment to sustainable farming prevails. This organic and Fair Trade Certified tea is made from the celebrated first harvest of early Spring, called the "first flush." Its light, floral cup has a fragrance all its own, with nuances of green and black tea. Our First Flush Darjeeling has a bright, lemony infusion with punchy astringency and classic first flush character. It is slightly flowery and has fruity notes of Muscat grape. We recommend infusing first flush Darjeeling black teas with a slightly lower water temperature and shorter steeping time than that of other black teas.

Aubrey Says: Light and VERY dry - if there were bubbles, you'd practically have champagne!
Jeremy Says: The flavors of this black tea are so delicate that I don't recommend taking it with milk.
