Namring Upper Darjeeling Black First Flush
Our teas are picked from a section of the tea gardens in Darjeeling between 3500 and 5000 feet in elevation, one of the highest in the region. Higher elevations teas tend to be rarer as the tea bushes have a lower yield - the tea leaves bloom more slowly, allowing for more flavour. Well made leaves of a slightly larger kind with a liberal sprinkling of silver tips. Delicate yet pronounced floral aroma with a pleasing and lasting after taste.

Tea Master Recommendation: Best enjoyed without milk. Can add honey and lemon to taste. Always use fresh water. Do not use re-boiled water.
