Makaibari Himalayan Spring First Flush Darjeeling Black Tea, Loose Leaf, 100g (3.5oz, 50 Cups), USDA Organic Single Estate, Muscatel Floral Notes - From World's Oldest Biodynamic Tea Garden

Features

• ICONIC FIRST FLUSH FROM MAKAIBARI ESTATE - Hand-plucked at dawn during the spring harvest from Makaibari, the world's first biodynamic tea garden, established in 1859 in the Darjeeling Himalayas. Grown across 550 acres of permaculture forest at 4,500+ ft elevation for unmatched terroir character.
• TASTE NOTES - The first sip offers a smooth, delicate feel with a hint of peach. A sharp, brief bout of astringency leads the following note. These flavors combine to create a genteel fruit-and-floral note. Cup quality creates a light, bright intensity with a greenish overtone.
• USDA ORGANIC, BIODYNAMIC, SINGLE ESTATE Certified USDA Organic and grown under a biodynamic six-tier permaculture system. No synthetic pesticides, no fertilizers, no blending 100% traceable to a single Darjeeling estate. Vegan, non-GMO, Kosher, gluten-free.
• HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP - Use 1 tsp (2g) loose leaf per 8oz cup. Heat water to 185-195F (just below boil). Steep 34 minutes for a delicate brew, up to 5 for a fuller cup. Re-steep up to 2 times. Best enjoyed plain to preserve the muscatel notes.
• HERITAGE GIFT FOR TEA LOVERS - Comes from the Luxmi Estates collection, founded 1912. 100g/3.52oz tin caddy yields ~50 cups. Ideal gift for connoisseurs, hostesses, mothers, fathers, or anyone who appreciates single-origin specialty tea.
