Premium Darjeeling 1st & 2nd Flush

With the Global Pandemic, there have been some challenging times for Indian Tea. Last year the plantations were shut down during the First Flush season to prevent the virus from catching hold with no tea plucking during this time. Later, in a bid to bring income into the region, tourists were allowed in, but with them came Covid and the shutdown of most plantations.  We managed to find some very nice teas last year though no true First Flush.  Shipping delay was the tricky part with our Indian tea orders not arriving in store here until January 2021 as there Read more >

Steinthal Jubilee 2nd Flush - A RARE FIND

Steinthal Jubilee 2nd Flush 2002 Super Vintage Luxury Interesting. This doesn’t SMELL like a Darjeeling. It already intrigues me! A solid black tea aroma with fruity and floral suggestions! I’m still interested! The ‘brews’ dark brown with a orange-red hue! It doesn’t taste like the stereotypical Darjeeling, either. It’s bolder and darker than the other Darjeelings I have tried…it doesn’t have that crispy-airiness or sweet-wood to it. This is more outspoken and malty, even. There are amazing wine-like comparisons I am picking up, too! It must be the grape-esque notes the product description mentions. I REALLY like that about this tea! In the aftertaste I Read more >
