Origin: Darjeeling, India Leaf Type: Single Estate White Tea Taste: Delicate & refreshing Drink: Without milk Brew: Lightly, 2-3 minutes according to taste with water off the boil When to drink: Throughout the day This tea is quite simply the jewel in Indias crown. A rare, white, single estate tea, made in only very limited qualities, it is one of the best teas in the world. Darjeeling teas are grown in the foothills of the Himalayas. Intermittent rain, sun & moisture-laden mists nurture the centuries-old tea gardens in the landscape that inspired Rudyard Kipling to craft his stories. For this unique tea, the smallest shoots, still covered in dew, are picked by hand then simply left to dry in the sun. The taste is exquisite, gently aromatic yet full of flavour.
