Sample 1 oz of each in this sampler pack: Darjeeling, Ceylon, Assam

Darjeeling

Tea Champagne

Named for the region from where it comes, and known as the "champagne of teas", this tea gem is grown in the foothills of the snow-covered peaks of the Himalayas. Harvested in June, this second flush produces an amber liquid with a full-bodied, muscatel flavor in the cup. Beautiful floral fragrance, with hints of stone fruit sweetness, it gives a long finish with pleasant astringency. This tea is biodynamically farmed at the Makaibari Estate in India (est. 1859), the oldest estate in Darjeeling, and is a must for the tea cupboard.

Ceylon

Island tea

Classic Sri Lankan tea with fresh citrus aromatics and juicy sweet citrus peel flavor. Refreshing with a balanced astringency and a caramel, coppery honey aftertaste this is a perfect afternoon tea from the island nation of Sri Lanka.

Assam

The bold and the beautiful

A rousing morning cup of tea that is perfect straight but also stands up to milk and sugar. This is a brisk, malty black tea from the foothills of the Himalayas, in the northeastern part of India. Rich honeyed notes underneath a malty, molasses base make this a bold and beautiful brew in every sip.
