Introduction: This exceptional Darjeeling black tea represents a world of difference. Made at a bio-dynamic tea estate, promoting sustainable farming methods and care for the environment. The term 'muscatel' refers to the sweet, flowery and thirst quenching characteristic of this tea.
Brewing Suggestions
In general, Darjeeling teas are lighter and more delicate than other Indian black teas. Therefore, we recommend using mineral or spring water 180 to 190 F in temperature. The lower temperature water allows for a full bodied brew with a balanced sweetness and astringency. Because of its smaller leaf and astringent qualities, it is also best to use a shorter steeping time than with other Indian Black teas. Three to four minutes is usually sufficient, slightly longer if you wish to use a little milk.
