Aromatic, Seasonal, Fresh Whole Leaf Organic Indian Teas.

As Spring enters our beautiful kingdom in the Northern hemisphere, we wait patiently for the First Flush Darjeelings. The novelty of finding out the extra aromatic flavours of "this particular plantation" brings joy to any tea drinker.

As the teas are plucked fresh and oxidised, the black tea develops its peculiar muscatel character. The teas are then dried to about 3 percent moisture, just the right amount to retain enough "mellowing"for about three months.

During this period, the tannins continue to darken and form the aromatic body of the liquor, and before the oxidation has achieved its full taste, the fresh "green" perfumes are at their strongest.
