INGREDIENTS

Organic Darjeeling Green Tea (Camellia sinensis)

Darjeeling is a region in North-Eastern India. This famous namesake tea all started some 150 years ago when a British civil engineer, who was stationed in the area, experimented with planting tea bushes in his garden. He was so successful that the government began planting tea gardens in the surrounding area.

Today, Darjeeling is recognized as being one of the great tea regions of the world. Teas from this area are known to have a unique flavour because of the special geographical location, elevation, and very hot climate. With a fine and delicate flavour surpassing all other teas, Darjeeling tea has acquired a reputation as the ‘Champagne of Teas.’

DIRECTIONS

The art of tea has evolved to include many rites and rituals; here are just a few that can affect the taste of your tea:

• Using good water is an essential part of brewing a great cup of tea. We recommend using good quality spring, mineral, or filtered water.
• Rinse your teapot and cup with hot water immediately before brewing your tea. By keeping the water temperature high while steeping, more of the subtle aspects of your tea will be extracted from the tea leaves. Also, your tea will brew more quickly and stay hot longer.
• Water temperature is critical. For this tea, we recommend heating your water until it is vigorously boiling, then letting it cool slightly before pouring over the teabag(s).
• Use one teabag per cup of tea desired. Pour hot water over teabags, cover and steep, peeking & stirring occasionally. Optimal brewing time is about 4 minutes, depending on how strong you enjoy your tea.
• As a tea cools, you will notice that its taste changes dramatically. Be sure to experiment and you may find more character in a specific tea than you ever imagined.
