Organic Darjeeling Makaibari Estate 2nd Flush Black Tea

This outstanding organic tea is biodynamically farmed at the Makaibari estate in India’s Darjeeling district. Established in 1859, Makaibari is the oldest estate in Darjeeling, where a strong commitment to sustainable farming prevails. This Fair Trade Certified organic black tea is made from the new growth of the tea plant a few months after the first harvest of the year, referred to as the “second flush.” Second flush organic tea from India (especially the Darjeeling region) offer a darker liquor and stronger body than teas of the first flush, with far less “green” character. This tea offers an exquisite aroma and amber color, with fully-ripened Muscat grape and forest floor notes, and an ample astringency.

Ingredients: organic and Fair Trade Certified Indian black tea
