Canton Darjeeling Loose Leaf Tea 500g

An organically produced Darjeeling from the Potong Tea Gardens, nestled deep in the Himalayan foothills. First established as a colonial plantation over a hundred years ago, the gardens are now collectively run and majority-owned by its workers, in partnership with the Singell Tea Estate. The co-operative is both organic and fairtrade certified – and the tea itself is sensational. A sweet and floral Darjeeling, with notes of dried fruit, roses and toasted bread.

For the ideal cup of Canton Darjeeling, drink it black and in 250ml of 90°C water for two to three minutes.

True Darjeeling teas have a distinctive aroma and taste due to being made from the Chinese tea varietal planted as seed in the mountains of India. The liquor has a quality of this terroir which is that famous muscatel grape note It is light and bright with a subtle note of fig.
