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.
Collection: Infusers / Strainers
Gone are the days of the ubiquitous spoon-shaped metal tea infuser that probably still lingers in every kitchen! Toss them out. Whole leaf tea requires room to unfurl. It is very easy to steep with one of our infuser baskets or disposable filters.
The Brew Basket comes individually boxed and consists of a fine mesh with a lid that can also serve as a coaster to hold the drips from the basket. The Disposable Filter allows you to make your own tea bag and your fine loose leaf tea can now travel with you anywhere. The Open Mesh Infuser Basket is a simple basket that fits most cups and pots. It has no lid so it is better for Green and Oolong which are enjoyed best when not at boiling temperatures.
All of them are easy to clean, dishwasher friendly and will last a long time.

One of my favorite teas
This is the tea my coffee-loving partner drinks every afternoon... after years of making fun of me for drinking tea. It's a liquid treat in a cup.
I mainly drink unflavored green tea, but this black tea is light but with a deep flavor. I don't know how else to say it, but I love it.
One of the most aromatic, delicate and sweet blends. There hasn’t yet been anyone among my friends who has tasted this tea at my place and have not asked for it during the next visit.
First tea of the day -- absolutely lovely
having drank lots of earl grey over many years, this is my favorite. if you love bergamot flavor, definitely give this a try.
When I want a flavorful tea to pick me up in the morning or from my afternoon slump English Breakfast tea is my go to tea, strong with a dash of milk.
When I long for chocolate then drinking this chai is a great substitute.
Delicious, bright and fresh taste. Reminds me of tea I drank with my mother.
Throughout the week, I rotate through different varieties of black tea. This bold, malty breakfast tea is one of my favorites and always on my rotation list! A perfect kick-start to the day or an afternoon pick-me-up.
I know that first flush tea is highly esteemed for its elegant, delicate flavor but I like my teas a little stronger. This second flush Makaibari still has the distinctive fragrant, floral character of Darjeeling, but with bolder flavor for a great morning wake-me-up!
Lovely, pale brew. Have enjoyed multiple steeps.
My go-to daily morning green tea.
Delicious, smooth cup. Good any time of day.
