The newest spring growth is reserved for first-pick Darjeeling. The gorgeous full leaves from Okayti Estate are a perfect example of first-flush: a deep flavor of muscatel with floral high notes and a crisp mineral finish. While it is a black tea, the nuanced flavors within the delicate brew are overpowered by milk (plus it is perfect as-is!) so we recommend preparing without.
Bring filtered or spring water to 190°F. Add 1.5 tsp of tea leaves to an 8oz cup. Pour boiling water over the tea leaves and let steep 44259 minutes.
