5 Great Teas of India Tasting Kit

Tea Maestro Bruce Richardson has put together five teas that will introduce you to flavors unique to India. • Darjeeling Soom Garden First Flush Black Tea - Plucked in the month of March during the height of the first flush, this classic Darjeeling black tea is alive with muscatel flavor but, as with most first flush Darjeelings, this harvest leans toward the greenish flavor profile - light and gentle. (20g) • Darjeeling Margarets Hope Autumnal Black Tea - This full-bodied fall harvest tea steeps a rich liquor that is a bit more robust than the First and Second Flush offerings. It's rare to find a Darjeeling with this bold character and long, sweet finish at such an affordable price.
