Origin:  Kurseong, West Bengal, Darjeeling, India
Flavor:  lilac, herbs, fruity

Darjeeling teas can be tricky - they've been around for so long, you need to represent that "classic" flavor but you still want something interesting in the cup.  This first flush from the Monteviot Estate is a show-stopper.  It has a light body and mild astringency with a warm, familiar flavor (fruit, Muscato grape) but what makes the cup really shine is a distinct lilac aroma and flavor.

The Monteviot Estate was established in 1856, making it one of the oldest tea gardens in Darjeeling.  It is also one of the smallest and therefore specializes in producing high-grade, hand-picked teas.  This estate produces organic teas and has a strong social commitment to their employees.

 

INGREDIENTS: organic black tea

JARS: powder coated mason jar measure approximately 3" diameter and 5" tall.

CAFFEINE: High. Black teas typically range from 40-80 mg of caffeine per cup. For comparison, coffee ranges from 80-120 mg per cup.
