Darjeeling Makaibari First Flush 2018 Kusmi Tea box - 100gr
The Makaibari Tea Estate is located on the slopes of the Himalayas on the way from Bhutan to Tibet, where it has been cultivated with care and passion since 1859. Every year, the first harvest begins on April 9th when the temperatures rise and days get longer, after the tea plants have been in hibernation for five months. The very first shoots are then carefully picked to create a unique, light and elegant black tea. Kusmi Tea presents a 2018 limited edition "First Flush" Darjeeling Makaibari spring harvest tea. Its floral aromas, delicate scent and expert harvesting make it the greatest of the Darjeeling varieties. To house this exceptional brew, Kusmi Tea has concocted a delicate box that calls to mind the original cases where Darjeeling was stored.
