Darjeeling – Millikthong Estate, 2nd Flush Tea – WS

Internationally renowned Darjeeling teas come to us from the area in and around Darjeeling, a Himalayan town in the state of West Bengal in eastern India. The soil and climatic conditions that exist here create teas that are treasured for their exquisite taste. Often referred to as the “Champagne of teas”, Darjeeling teas are so prized that the government there created a special logo that certifies that the teas bearing this logo were actually grown in this beautiful mountain terrain. These teas have a complex and delicate flavor that marries well with custard, eggs, grilled fish, curries and fresh fruit.

This FTGFOP1 second flush tea comes from the Millikthong garden located in the picturesque Mirik Valley in Darjeeling.  Millikthong, one of the largest gardens in Darjeeling, grows tea at altitudes ranging from 1,600 to 4,900 feet and enjoys premium climatic conditions for growing the finest teas.  When brewed this tea yields a golden amber cup with a fresh garden aroma and a floral, slightly earthy cup with a refreshing sweetness.

Brew tea at 195º – steep for 3 minutes.
