This article says it all. Indian Prime Minister Modi gifted Makaibari Darjeeling tea to the Queen today during his visit to the United Kingdom. You can be royal too - we have the same award-winning tea on our site and at the Tea Room. Enjoy all our Makaibari selections - Black, Green, Oolong & Silver Tips.
Second flush Makaibari Estate Darjeeling is a fresh, crisp brew with a clean finish. It's more robust than first flush, but still aromatic with citrus notes. For me it teeters between first flush, where I would never use milk, and a more traditional Assam, where I would. Comparing first flush and second, I do think first flush is perhaps a more unique and special tea, but maybe something I'll buy seasonally. The delight of that first cup of first flush feels like spring in a teacup. Second flush is a bit more ordinary, but also a superb tea. You can't go wrong with either.
