Darjeeling Highlands Second Flush Black Loose Leaf Tea (175g) Premium Indian Tea, 2nd Rich & Flavoursome Resealable Pouch

ORIGIN: This tea is grown in the Darjeeling district, in the foothills of the Himalayas in India. The weather conditions there are rather harsh, the air is foggy, with cold winters followed by wet and hot monsoon periods. These specific conditions contribute to the tea's distinctive characteristics. ABOUT: Our Darjeeling Highlands Second Flush is made from the leaves harvested during the second plucking season, when the leaves are more mature than in the first flush. The tea is more rounded and fuller in flavour, with the fruity, sweetish muscatel undertones and the richer, amber colour. BENEFITS: The leaves of Darjeeling tea contain polyphenols like theaflavins, thearubigins, and catechins. They are also rich in minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and more. The caffeine content is lower, compared to other black teas, like Assam or Yunnan Black, but higher than in green tea. USES: Best enjoyed when consumed without any additives (or with just little sugar or honey). Often paired with a light dessert as the natural sweetness complements its flavours. BREWING: Allow 1- 1½ teaspoon per cup. Pour the freshly boiled water onto the leaves. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes. The brewing time and water temperature can be adjusted based on personal preferences.
