This blend is already mixed at origin from high quality garden teas of the middle and late first flush season selected by us and shipped freshly harvested to our house. This quality is characterised by a medium-sized, almost black leaf and a light, brass-coloured cup. In taste, this first flush blend leaves a fresh, slightly spicy impression with a bit of bite, which is also reflected in the aroma. Always a pleasure! The correct preparation of the Black Tea Darjeeling First Flush Leaf Blend is also crucial. Here is our tip: Use 4-5 heaped tsp/1 ltr of the Black Tea Darjeeling First Flush Leaf Blend and steep it at 100 ̊C Celsius for approx. 2-4 min.
