Sikkim Second Flush Muscatel Black Tea Tin by Rare Tea
Company 50g
Brand: Rare Tea Company
This highly fragrant black tea comes from the
Himalayan state of Sikkim, neighbouring Darjeeling. The entire
state converted to organic agriculture between 2003 - 2016 and now
produces some of the purest, sustainable and truly exquisite tea in
India. Although a tea can’t be called Darjeeling if it is not grown
in the specific area of West Bengal (like Champagne) the terroir of
Sikkim is every bit as good, if not better. The whole state is
officially under organic agriculture and the garden of Temi is one
of the most unspoiled we have ever encountered. The biodiversity is
extraordinary and over 1/3 of the state is made up of
Khangchendzonga National Park. The garden is nestled high in the
lush green foothills of the Eastern Himalayas. On a clear day you
can see Kangchenjunga, the highest peak in India and third highest
on Earth. The garden is concerned with protecting the unique
ecosystem and the rich variety of flora and fauna as well as the
rich culture and communities of the Lepcha people who live and work
among the tea.
