Black Tea Darjeeling second flush
Distinguished Tea Components
This refined blend features:
- Assam Black Tea: Harvested from India's prestigious Assam region, known for its rich, malty character and full-bodied profile. The unique terroir of Assam, with its rich soil and climate, produces tea leaves of exceptional quality.
- Natural Bergamot Flavoring: Derived from the prized bergamot citrus fruit of Calabria, Italy, adding bright, floral citrus notes that perfectly complement the robust tea base.
Artful Tea Preparation
For optimal flavor extraction: Use 12-15g of tea per liter of fresh, filtered water heated to 100°C (212°F). Steep for 3-5 minutes - longer steeping will intensify the flavor but may introduce astringency. To enjoy as iced tea, double the tea quantity when brewing, then pour over ice. The robust nature of this blend makes it an excellent candidate for cold brewing - simply steep in cold water for 8-12 hours in the refrigerator. Can be enjoyed plain or with a slice of lemon to enhance the citrus notes.
Time-Honored Health Attributes
This distinguished blend carries forward traditional benefits associated with its components:
- Mental Clarity: The natural caffeine and L-theanine in Assam black tea work together to promote focused alertness without jitters.
- Heart Health Support: Black tea's polyphenols and flavonoids may help maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
- Digestive Harmony: Bergamot's natural properties have been traditionally used to support healthy digestion and metabolism.
- Antioxidant Protection: Rich in theaflavins and thearubigins, which may help protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Mood Enhancement: The aromatic compounds in bergamot have been traditionally associated with stress relief and emotional balance.
A Legacy of Fine Tea Crafting
The marriage of Assam tea and bergamot represents a fascinating confluence of tea traditions. The Assam region, discovered by the British in the 1830s, revolutionized tea cultivation in India. Each tea garden in Assam develops unique characteristics based on its specific location and elevation. The addition of bergamot oil to black tea emerged in the 1800s, creating what we now know as Earl Grey tea - a blend that rapidly became a cornerstone of British tea culture. This heritage continues to influence modern tea appreciation, showcasing how traditional practices evolve into contemporary favorites.
