My new favorite tea

I love the Makaibari teas. I had been gravitating for the last five years toward the Makaibari oolong, but the moment I tasted this new 1st flush reserve, I became a convert! I have a pot every afternoon. It’s an extraordinary blend of clarity and complex scent profile. I’m so grateful that Silver Tips has been abel to import this special one, and at such a reasonable price for such a refined tea. Thank you!

Steeping Instructions

Use 1 Tbsp. leaf  per  8 oz. cup.  
Pour boiling water over leaves.  
Steep 3 mins.
Milk is not recommended.

Tea Education

Darjeeling leaf is usually manufactured in a short leaf style. Early season teas have a pronounced greenish tip while later season teas have a silvery tip. Longer leaf styles are valued and manufactured in small batches, usually for a special, limited order. We try and procure some each tea season and this one is an early-season favorite. It is not as astringent as the regular 1st flush and withstands a second infusion.
