Description:
House Darjeeling FTGFOP Tea. A wonderful Second Flush FTGFOP (finest tippy golden flowery orange pekoe) grade black tea
blend from the Darjeeling district in India.
Produced in the Himalayas, Darjeelings are grown in the shadow of Kangchenjunga, the snow capped mountain said to be home of the Hindu God “Shiva” -the Destroyer. Darjeeling means land of the Thunderbolt and it is in fact the weather, combined with the altitude, soil and bright sunlight that results in an incomparable beverage.
The are 3 main times of year for producing good quality Darjeelings:
1st flush - Springtime harvested teas from late Feb. to mid April. The young leaves yield a light tea with generally intense muscatel taste. A gentle afternoon tea.
2nd flush - Harvested in June, these teas are more fully developed. The liquor is bright and the taste full and round with excellent muscatel character. A superb afternoon tea that is especially good with scones and raspberry preserves.
Autumnal - Not always available depending upon the weather, they are typified by a round taste and coppery liquor. Excellent as a breakfast tea with milk.
Use 1 level teaspoon per 6 oz cup. Heat water
until boiling. Steep for 3 minutes. Try with
sugar.

"I really enjoyed this darjeeling. I've tried lots of others and this one has the nicest fragrance and taste. Not too overwhelming and not too overbearing. A great daily tea."

"I was not impressed by this. It didn't taste any different from the cheap black tea bags my dad uses."

"I got this as a sampler and it is great. I've always liked black teas and this one delivers. It seems a little lighter than most English Black Teas which is fine with me."

"This is a great tasting tea. It's the first high quality black tea I've tried and I usually only drink black tea with milk and sugar, but I wouldn't dare do that to this tea. The taste was really nice, kinda flowery and sweet. A really great tea."
