Darjeeling Badamtam mid-season
Darjeeling is the world capital of quality tea. This region, high in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas, produces low yields and exceptional quality. Darjeeling is called the Champagne of teas.
Darjeeling tea always has a toasty, muscatel flavour. Each flush (growth spurt) has a slightly different flavour, and teas also vary considerably with “terroir” – the combination of climate, soil, etc that makes each garden unique.
Badamtam is one of the oldest gardens of Darjeeling, renowned for quality and flavour, with a floral, toasty aroma and flavour. The mid-season teas have more body than the 1st and 2nd flushes, which really brings out the Darjeeling character and means that the tea will take milk if desired.
To Brew
Use one heaped teaspoon per person in a warmed pot and add freshly drawn boiling water. Brew for 3-4 minutes according to taste. Drink with or without milk and sugar.
