Darjeeling Classic Green Tea

Description

Darjeeling Classic Green Tea — The Whole-Leaf Ritual

There is a quiet luxury in watching whole leaves come to life. Grown high in the misty, organic gardens of Darjeeling and hand-picked during the prized second flush of May and June, these golden-tipped leaves arrive loose and unbroken, ready to unfurl slowly in your cup. Each spoonful is an invitation to slow down, to steep with intention, and to make the moment your own.

Tasting Notes

The dry leaf carries a fresh, faintly floral aroma with a whisper of new-season greenery. Once brewed, the liquor pours a luminous pale gold, clean and bright in the cup. The flavour is delicate and smooth — softly vegetal, gently sweet, with a light body and a crisp, refreshing finish that lingers without a trace of harshness when steeped with care.

Why You will Love It

• Traditionally valued in wellness rituals as a caffeine-light way to feel calm and quietly refreshed
• Whole, unbroken leaves that unfurl fully, releasing nuanced aroma and a cleaner cup
• Complete control over strength — measure more or less leaf to suit your mood and moment
• Grown in organic Darjeeling gardens without synthetic chemicals or additives
• Endlessly re-steepable, rewarding a slower, more mindful brewing ritual

Caffeine

Low-to-moderate — a gentle green-tea lift that keeps you clear-headed without the jolt of a strong black tea.

How to Brew

• Measure 1 tsp (about 2 g) of loose leaves into your pot or infuser.
• Add 200 ml of freshly heated water at 75–85°C — just below boiling.
• Let the leaves unfurl and steep for 3 minutes; extend slightly for a fuller cup, but avoid over-steeping to keep it from turning bitter.
• Strain the leaves, breathe in the aroma, and enjoy slowly.

When to Enjoy

Perfect for an unhurried morning at your desk or a mid-afternoon rebalance. Pair it with a few almonds, a light shortbread, or a plate of steamed dumplings — its clean profile lets subtle flavours shine.

Quick Questions

Can I re-steep the leaves, and how many cups will I get?
Yes — whole leaves reward a second and even third infusion. Simply add fresh hot water and steep a little longer each time to enjoy the evolving flavour.

Does it contain milk or any added flavours?
No. This is a single-origin, unflavoured whole-leaf green tea with nothing added — no milk, no synthetic flavours, just pure Darjeeling leaf.

Is it good served iced?
Wonderfully so. Brew a slightly stronger batch, let it cool, and pour over ice for a crisp, refreshing cold cup on warm days.
