Darjeeling, Autumnal

The most robust of the Darjeelings, Autumnal flush is the last harvest of the season at the Makaibari Estate. The bolder flavor of this black tea come from enduring the drought and temperature changes that mark late fall in the eastern Himalayas, causing a slower growing leaf and production of final buds that give it a more concentrated flavor and complexity without losing the sweet, mellow attributes of a classic Darjeeling.

Brewing Tips: Let boiling water cool slightly before pouring over leaf. Steep 3-4 minutes, sweeten and/or add cream if desired.
