Description
 
This tea is from the Mist Valley garden in Jitpur, a small village in eastern Nepal at over 4,000 feet above sea level. A light-bodied black tea reminiscent of its First Flush Darjeeling neighbors to the south, it has a light floral, faintly spicy taste and pale copper liquor. The medium-brown and deep green leaves (SFTGFOP1) produce an intense Concord grape aroma that lingers over a few infusions.
Brewing Notes
  • Start with your favorite spring or filtered water. Preheat the teaware. Use a large strainer basket to allow the leaves to open and release their flavor.
  • Temperature: 212 F (boiling)     Time: 2-3 minutes
    Amount: 3g / 6 oz serving = 1 rounded teaspoon
  • Play with the amount of tea, the water temperature, and steeping time to re-steep - rely on taste, not color. Get to know the tea! Try it gong-fu style - use a lot of leaf and short steeps for multiple infusions.
