Enjoy the 2019 season - this is the prize crop of Darjeeling, called 'the champagne of teas". We begin this season with Lot 8/19 - slightly astringent, excellent leaf style, and an underlying floral tone to the cup. A short steep recommended.  Enjoy the spirit of the Himalayas - Organic, Biodynamic & Fair Trade.
2019 season, air-freighted in just for you! 

For all those who still wish to pour the previous season's harvest - here's your chance to pick it up at a discount.  Click here for all of Makaibari's bounty!

Use 1 tsp. leaf  per  8 oz. cup.  
Pour boiling water over leaves.  
Steep 2.5 to 3 mins.  
Milk is not recommended.
