Saicho darjeeling

This black tea was grown in the foothills of the Himalayas in Darjeeling, India, at almost 2,000 metres above sea level. Harvested in the summer to develop its unique Darjeeling flavour, the tea has notes of wood spice, nectarine and muscatel and has a subtle astringency. The slight bitterness and gentle, dry tannins make it incredibly food friendly and is an ideal accompaniment to grilled pork or a hearty lasagne. The malty notes of the Darjeeling also create a great pairing with chocolate. Darjeeling is a town situated on the slopes of the Himalayas and has some of the highest tea gardens in the world. At almost 2,000 metres above sea level, the tea leaves grow more slowly which, along with the region’s loamy soil and pure mountain air, develops a unique muscatel flavour, redolent of muscat grapes. Darjeeling is often referred to as the “Champagne of teas” due to its deep fruity and floral flavour. This tea is hand-picked in the summer when the muscatel flavour is most pronounced and the leaves have turned a beautiful purplish-brown colour.
