I just came back from a short memorable trip to Makaibari Tea Estates in Darjeeling, India. As some of you may know, this is a family connection for me. Rajah Banerjee, the 4th generation owner is my brother-in-law. His wife is my sister and I have managed Makaibari's interests in the U.S. for the past 20 years. My sister and I also went to boarding school in Darjeeling so landing in Bagdogra, the small but very busy military airport which serves the entire area, brought back a few memories.
How does one set out to describe a favorite tea? Especially when you like other teas. But Dian Black, hands down, is my favorite tea! I find that is the best way to start the day. No harsh flavor notes. My tasting buds and Dian Black are on the best of terms. Silver Tips has brought a wonderful tea into our palette of excellent teas.
Nothing I love better than watching anime and sipping on this jasmine. And by the way, silver tips has incredible customer service too.
Thank you for your very kind words, Delaney and yes, this is a wonderful Jasmine - beautiful in appearance and in the cup. So glad you are enjoying it.
