Product Details
✓100% PURE DARJEELING TEA: A small-batch loose leaf black tea which is harvested during the first spring harvest in March-April right after the leaves come alive after the dormancy of winters. This tea is produced at dawn after a short wither and processed by experienced tea makers to bring forth an amber colour cup of a typical muscatel flavory Darjeeling Black Tea. Freshly emergent fine teas that come from climbing temperatures after a long winter from November to March
✓DEMETER AND FAIR TRADE CERTIFIED: One of the first tea estates in the world to get demeter certification that is given for biodynamic practices observed at the estate, Makaibari is Certified Biodynamic since 1988. This implies that the estate uses practices that are healthy for the soil and the garden, with no harmful pesticides or chemicals that leech into the pristine soil or harm the flora and fauna at the estate
✓BREWING INSTRUCTIONS: Place 2gm or 1 TSP tea leaves in a cup, tea infuser or strainer and pour hot water over the leaves. Steep for 4 minutes. Best enjoyed plain without adding milk or sugar
✓TASTING NOTES: Liquor in the cup reveals a light, bright yellow hue with a strong shade of green, emanating from the centre of the cup. The first sip offers a smooth delicate feel with a hint of peach, followed by a sharp, brief bout of astringency and sublime floral notes of a delicate rose permeating the entire palate
✓FIRST FLUSH BLACK TEA: This premium spring time bloom tea comes in a convenient tin caddy containing 100 grams of loose leaf tea, preserving the freshness and distinctive muscatel flavor characteristic of first flush Darjeeling teas harvested at the peak of spring
✓HERITAGE TEA ESTATE: Sourced from the renowned Makaibari estate in Darjeeling, this tea represents generations of traditional tea-making expertise combined with sustainable farming practices that respect the natural ecosystem and local community
