This fine tea is from the Mim Estate in the Darjeeling district of India, nestled in the southern slopes of the Himalaya Mountains at elevations of 6800 feet. From the town center on a clear day the peak of Mount Everest can be seen.
Darjeelings possess an exquisite bouquet and flavor and a distinctive "muscat" character almost wine-like in taste in a lovely and light cup.
Darjeeling's preeminence as India's foremost producer of premium quality black teas is due to a unique combination of factors. Higher elevation, soil type, hilly terrain with excellent drainage, weather pattern and age and diversity of bush all lend a hand in helping create a flavor profile which cannot be replicated anywhere else on earth.
This Darjeeling has a distinctly sharp, berry character with good color.
This gourmet black tea is in loose leaf form and will require a tea infuser or tea filter when brewing. This can be purchased separately here.
