Grown amidst ancient forests at the foothills of the Himalayas, our Darjeeling green tea is revered as a herb.

This green tea was first developed in 2004 when Gyokuro Sensi Tokishaku Yamashita visited us in the Himalayas. This tea finds devoted connoisseurs in Japan, even though the country itself produces some of the finest Darjeeling Makaibari green teas in the world. Its unique balance of sweetness and astringency with notes of fresh corn, make it a favourite amongst tea drinkers in Tokyo. It is high in Orac values and may be taken through the day.

Tasting Notes: Delicate & fresh, earthy with hints of rice, corn. 

Strength: Light

Grade: Darjeeling Green Tea (FTGFOP1S)

Makaibari Estate: The iconic Makaibari estate in Darjeeling produces exceptional green tea. Select leaves are plucked from chosen organic tea bushes between June to November and delicately processed with no oxidation. The emerald green dry leaves with flecks of white tips are rich in antioxidants and possess strong revitalizing properties. The cup is a taste of the surrounding forest on dewy mornings - a clear brew which is fresh and lively on the palate.

A classic black tea with a bold and malty flavour, best enjoyed after a hearty breakfast with visitors.                                                                                          

In the old Anglo-Saxon tradition of hospitality, hosts would provide hearty breakfasts for visiting friends and neighbours. This was finished off with a cup of strong, malty tea that held up well with cream and sugar. Luxmi's English Breakfast blend brings together teas from our own estates in Darjeeling and Assam. A rich explosion of flavour and strength. 

Tasting Notes: Bold, malty flavour with floral undertones. 

Strength: Fairly Strong. 

About The Tea: The strength in the cup originates from one of our top-quality upper ASSAM estates, while the flavour comes from our heritage tea estate in the Darjeeling hills. The idea of the English Breakfast tea traces back to the 13th century and the country houses of the gentry. A blend usually made up of two to three different black teas was created to pair well with the traditional protein-rich meal. The boldness is perfectly balanced by the sweet floral notes, providing the right start to your mornings.
